Osteoporosis & Spine Fractures – Advanced Treatment Options in India

Osteoporosis & Spine Fractures Treatment

Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and prone to fractures. The spine is one of the most commonly affected areas, and even minor falls or routine activities can cause compression fractures. Early diagnosis and proper management can prevent severe disability, deformity, and long-term mobility issues.

Dr. Vishal Kundnani, a leading spine surgeon in India, specializes in treating osteoporotic spine fractures using non-surgical care, minimally invasive procedures, vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, and robotic-assisted stabilization techniques. Patients across India trust his expertise for safe, effective, and long-lasting treatment outcomes.

🔍 Symptoms of Osteoporotic Spine Fractures

Patients may experience:

  • Sudden onset back pain
  • Pain worsening with standing or walking
  • Height loss over time
  • Forward bending or stooped posture (kyphosis)
  • Difficulty performing normal activities
  • Reduced mobility

Early treatment helps prevent additional fractures and deformity.

🧪 Diagnosis of Osteoporosis & Spine Fractures

Accurate diagnosis includes:

1. Bone Density Test (DEXA Scan)

Determines the severity of osteoporosis and fracture risk.

2. MRI or CT Scan

Detects acute fractures, nerve compression, or spinal instability.

3. X-rays

Reveal wedge compression, deformity, or multiple fractures.

4. Clinical Evaluation

Assesses pain severity, mobility, and neurological function.

🩺 Treatment Options for Osteoporosis-Related Spine Fractures

1. Non-Surgical Treatment Options

Early-stage or stable fractures may be managed with:

  • Pain medications
  • Bracing for support
  • Physiotherapy to strengthen back muscles
  • Lifestyle and posture modifications
  • Bone-strengthening medications (bisphosphonates, calcium, vitamin D)

This approach aims to reduce pain and prevent further bone loss.

2. Minimally Invasive Surgical Options

When pain persists or fractures cause instability, minimally invasive procedures provide quick relief.

✔ Vertebroplasty

  • Bone cement is injected into the fractured vertebra
  • Immediate pain relief
  • Quick recovery

✔ Kyphoplasty

  • Balloon used to restore height before cement injection
  • Helps reduce deformity and correct posture

✔ Minimally Invasive Fixation

Used for unstable or multi-level fractures.

Benefits:

  • Small incisions
  • Less blood loss
  • Faster mobility
  • Reduced infection risk

🤖 Robotic & Navigation-Assisted Spine Surgery

Robotic systems ensure accurate screw placement and improved fracture stabilization, especially in weak osteoporotic bones.

Advantages:

  • Enhanced safety
  • Superior precision
  • Reduced surgical trauma
  • Better long-term stability
