Understanding Spine Fractures

Spine fractures, also known as vertebral compression fractures (VCF), can result from various causes, including osteoporosis, spine cancer, sporting injuries, trauma, malignancies, bone tumors, accidents, or acts of violence. Dr. Arutyunyan conducts thorough diagnostic tests, such as x-rays and CT scans, to accurately identify and assess spine fractures before recommending treatment.

Whether the fracture is due to osteoporosis or another underlying condition, Dr. Arutyunyan customizes treatment to address the patient’s unique needs and circumstances.

Types of Spine Fracture Surgery

Spine fracture surgery aims to stabilize the bone and alleviate back pain. Dr. Arutyunyan employs various surgical techniques tailored to the type and severity of the fracture:

Instrumentation & Spine Fusion Surgery: These procedures are used to treat unstable spine fractures. Spinal fusion involves joining two vertebrae with a bone graft held together with hardware, promoting the formation of a solid bone mass.

Vertebroplasty & Kyphoplasty Surgery: These minimally invasive procedures are effective for treating compression fractures caused by osteoporosis and spinal tumors. In vertebroplasty, bone cement is injected into the fractured vertebra, while kyphoplasty involves inflating a balloon to restore vertebral height before injecting bone cement.
