Why consider treatment in India?
Many international patients consider India for spinal trauma and fractures treatment for several reasons, including:
More affordable estimates
Competitive indicative costs compared with many other countries, for similar clinical standards.
Internationally accredited hospitals
Hospitals experienced in treating international patients.
Experienced specialists
Doctors who regularly manage similar cases.
Care coordination support
A team to help with planning, medical translation and follow-up.
About the Procedure
What is Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty?
Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty are minimally invasive spinal procedures used to stabilize painful vertebral compression fractures, most commonly caused by osteoporosis, trauma, or tumors. Both techniques involve injecting medical-grade bone cement into the fractured vertebra under image guidance to relieve pain and restore structural support. Kyphoplasty additionally uses a balloon to restore vertebral height before cement injection. These procedures offer rapid pain relief and early mobilization compared to prolonged conservative management.
Who may be considered?
Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
A needle is guided into the fractured vertebra under fluoroscopic or CT guidance, and bone cement is injected directly to stabilize the fracture and relieve pain.
2 approaches available for this procedure:
Percutaneous Vertebroplasty
Minimally InvasiveA needle is guided into the fractured vertebra under fluoroscopic or CT guidance, and bone cement is injected directly to stabilize the fracture and relieve pain.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $300 - $800
MRI spine, CT spine, X-ray spine (AP/Lateral), Bone density scan (DEXA), CBC, coagulation profile, ECG
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $3,500 - $6,000
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~1 day
Hospitalisation: ~1-2 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~7-10 days recommended
Total stay: approx 9-13 days
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Surgeon and anesthesia fees
- Operating room and imaging guidance charges
- Bone cement material
- Standard hospital room stay
- Post-procedure X-ray and follow-up consultation
Usually Not Included
- Pre-procedure diagnostic imaging
- Osteoporosis medications
- Physiotherapy sessions post-discharge
- Airfare and local accommodation
- Visa and travel insurance
Recovery and follow-up
Most patients experience significant pain relief within 24-48 hours and can resume light activities within a few days, with full recovery typically over 2-4 weeks; a follow-up X-ray and consultation are advised before travel and again after returning home. Bracing and osteoporosis management may be recommended to prevent future fractures.
Risks
Potential risks include cement leakage into surrounding tissue or blood vessels, infection, bleeding, nerve irritation, and rarely adjacent vertebral fractures due to altered spinal mechanics. Serious complications are uncommon when performed by experienced spine specialists under proper imaging guidance.
Alternatives
Alternatives include conservative management with bed rest, bracing, pain medications, and physiotherapy, or in select cases, open spinal fusion surgery for severe instability. The choice depends on fracture severity, patient's overall health, and response to initial treatment.
What we need to prepare a formal estimate
Share whatever you have — the care team will confirm the final checklist after reviewing your case.
Reports required
- Recent MRI of the spine showing the fracture site
- CT scan of the affected vertebra (if available)
- X-rays of the spine (AP and lateral views)
- Bone density (DEXA) scan report
- Detailed history of pain onset, trauma, or malignancy
- Recent blood investigation reports (CBC, coagulation profile)
- List of current medications, especially blood thinners
- Details of prior spinal surgeries or treatments, if any
Patient information needed
- Patient's age and duration of back pain symptoms
- Underlying cause of fracture (osteoporosis, trauma, tumor)
- Number and location of vertebral levels affected
- History of osteoporosis treatment or steroid use
- Presence of neurological symptoms (numbness, weakness)
- Known allergies, especially to contrast dye or cement components
- Any cardiac, kidney, or bleeding disorders
- Mobility status and ability to travel post-procedure
Costs shown are indicative planning estimates based on typical pricing across leading Indian hospitals. They are not a quote — actual pricing depends on your case complexity, hospital choice, and length of stay. Share your reports for a personalized estimate.

Common questions
FAQs about Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty in Delhi NCR, India
What is Spinal trauma and fractures?
Spinal trauma and fractures are injuries to one or more vertebrae of the spine, which may also involve surrounding soft tissue, intervertebral discs, or the spinal cord and nerve roots, ranging from minor stable fractures to life-altering unstable injuries.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Spinal trauma and fractures?
Common presentations include localised back or neck pain at the injury site, tenderness on palpation, muscle spasm, and, in more serious injuries, radiating pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or loss of bladder and bowel control suggesting nerve or spinal cord involvement. In elderly patients with osteoporotic fractures, significant pain may develop gradually without a clear traumatic event. The presence or absence of any of these symptoms does not confirm or rule out a specific fracture pattern or its severity — a thorough clinical evaluation is necessary.
How is Spinal trauma and fractures diagnosed?
Assessment typically begins with a structured history of the mechanism of injury and a careful neurological examination to identify any deficit in motor strength, sensation, or reflexes. Plain X-rays are usually the first imaging step, but CT scanning is the standard for defining fracture morphology and alignment, while MRI is essential when spinal cord or nerve root injury, disc herniation, or ligamentous disruption is suspected. Fractures are commonly classified using systems such as the AO Spine Classification or the Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Score (TLICS), which help clinicians weigh fracture stability and neurological status to guide treatment decisions.
How is Spinal trauma and fractures treated?
Treatment depends on fracture location, type, stability, the presence of neurological deficits, the patient's age, bone quality, and overall health — all factors that a qualified specialist must evaluate on an individual basis. Stable fractures without neurological compromise may be managed conservatively with external bracing, activity modification, and pain management, whereas unstable fractures, progressive neurological deterioration, or significant spinal deformity generally require surgical intervention. Procedures used in our directory for this condition include fracture fixation with plates and screws (to restore stability and alignment) and vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty (minimally invasive cement augmentation techniques used primarily for painful osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures).
Can Spinal trauma and fractures be treated without a procedure?
A meaningful non-surgical pathway exists for many stable spinal fractures: this typically involves immobilisation with a rigid or semi-rigid orthotic brace worn for several weeks, structured physiotherapy once healing permits, appropriate analgesia, and — particularly in osteoporotic fractures — treatment of the underlying bone disease to reduce future fracture risk. However, fractures associated with spinal instability, spinal cord compression, or progressive neurological deficit are unlikely to be safely managed without surgical intervention, and delaying surgery in these cases can worsen outcomes.
When is Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty considered for Spinal trauma and fractures?
Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Spinal trauma and fractures?
Spinal trauma and fractures are evaluated and managed by an orthopaedic spine surgeon or a neurosurgeon with subspecialty training in spinal surgery; in complex or high-energy trauma, a multidisciplinary team that includes trauma surgeons, intensivists, and rehabilitation specialists is typically involved.
How do I choose a doctor for Spinal trauma and fractures?
When selecting a surgeon for a spinal fracture, it is worth looking into their specific volume of spinal trauma cases, their familiarity with both open fixation and minimally invasive techniques, the availability of intraoperative neuromonitoring at their facility, and the centre's access to a dedicated spinal rehabilitation programme for post-operative recovery.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
