Cost of minimally invasive compression fracture surgery

Compression fractures are relatively common in clinical practice, mostly due to a fall from a height or direct external force on the patient. The cost of minimally invasive treatment for a compression fracture depends on the procedure. If an incisional internal fixation is used and a nail bar system is given to fix the fracture, along with decompression and bone grafting, the cost is about $50,000 to $60,000. If a small incision with minimally invasive cementing is used and vertebroplasty is performed, the cost is about 30,000 RMB and the hospital stay is about 2 weeks. If the patient has other comorbidities during treatment, the cost will increase. The cost may also vary by hospital level and region.
