The American Oncology Institute (AOI) in Nagpur has unveiled cutting-edge treatment options for osteoporotic spine fractures, providing renewed hope for rapid recovery and improved mobility among patients. Osteoporosis, a condition characterized by weakened bones, often leads to fractures even with minimal trauma, particularly affecting older adults and compromising their quality of life.
“With an aging population, osteoporotic spine fractures are becoming increasingly common,” said Dr. Priyesh Dhoke, Spine Specialist at AOI, Nagpur. “Our approach starts with detailed evaluations, including blood tests and imaging. While conservative treatments like rest, bracing, and medication remain the first choice, minimally invasive procedures like kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty have revolutionized care for patients unresponsive to initial treatments.”
1Kyphoplasty, a groundbreaking procedure, offers pain relief and restores the height of compressed vertebrae, enabling patients to regain mobility within hours. “Performed under local anesthesia with specialized needles and image guidance, these procedures allow immediate pain relief, and most patients can walk the same day and are discharged within hours,” Dr. Dhoke explained.
Harish Trivedi, CEO of CTSI – South Asia, praised the advancements, stating, “Kyphoplasty reflects our commitment to precision medicine and innovation. Our goal is to enhance patients’ quality of life by providing state-of-the-art solutions for conditions like osteoporotic fractures.”
Dr. Hrushikesh Phate, Zonal Director for the Central & East Region, emphasized the institute’s expertise: “Led by specialists like Dr. Dhoke, with over 18 years of experience and 3,000 successful spine surgeries, AOI is setting new benchmarks in spinal care. We aim to deliver transformative results for patients battling debilitating conditions.”
As per the press release, Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty have proven to be life-changing for those with osteoporosis-related fractures, alleviating pain and restoring independence. These advanced procedures offer a renewed lease on life for patients grappling with this often silent condition.
