VIDEO: Dr. Finkenberg – How Long Is The Recovery Following A Kyphoplasty Procedure?

Dr. Finkenberg shares how long the recovery process is following a kyphoplasty procedure.

Dr. Finkenberg:
Most people can go home within a few hours to half a day from when they have the procedure. Once again, if you have other comorbidities, other illnesses that we need to monitor closer and make sure you started back on medications for anticoagulation, then this may lengthen it slightly, but there’s no question that within a day or two from the procedure that would be the absolute limit.
