Complications Complications in kyphoplasty are very rare (approximately 0.2% per fracture). The main risk is a leakage of bone cement from the vertebral body, which is, however, seen more frequently in vertebroplasty (vertebroplasty approx. 20-70%; kyphoplasty approx. 4-10%). The reason for this is the use of a more fluid bone cement and a higher pressure … Complications | Vertebro- and kyphoplasty
