Deeptee Jain, MD
Deeptee Jain, MD, is a Board Certified and Fellowship Trained Orthopedic Spine Surgeon at The Center for Bone and Joint Surgery of the Palm Beaches.
Her practice focuses on the evaluation and treatment of degenerative spine conditions as well fractures, including vertebral compression fractures, lumbar and cervical disc herniations, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, and spinal stenosis.
Dr. Jain also specializes in minimally invasive (MIS) spinal procedures
and uses traditional approaches when necessary. Dr. Jain attended Duke University School of Medicine and then completed an orthopedic surgery residency at the University of California, San Francisco, where she was awarded Chief Orthopedic Surgery Resident. She went on to receive subspecialized fellowship training in orthopedic spine surgery at New York University Hospital for Joint Disease, where she focused on minimally invasive techniques. She was an Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic surgery prior to moving to Florida.
Dr. Jain is a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and a member of the North American Spine Society, where she is also an Advocacy Council Member, the Lumbar Spine Research Society, and the Society for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery. She is also a reviewer for the Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery and a contributor to Forbes.
Dr. Deeptree Jain specializes in Spinal Fractures & Balloon Kyphoplasty
A spinal fracture—sometimes called a vertebral compression fracture or VCF—occurs when one of the bones in your spine weakens and breaks, which can cause pain and impact quality of life. This type of fracture may be caused by osteoporosis or other conditions. Balloon kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that uses balloons inserted through small incisions on the back to repair the fracture and create cavities that are filled with bone cement to stabilize the bone like an “internal cast.” The procedure typically takes less than an hour1 and has been clinically shown to relieve pain and improve patients’ quality of life compared to non-surgical treatments like pain medication and bed rest.2
Important safety information
Balloon Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of VCFs due to osteoporosis, cancer or benign lesions. Although the complication rate for Kyphon™ Balloon Kyphoplasty is low, as with most surgical procedures, serious adverse events, some of which can be fatal, can occur, including heart attack, cardiac arrest (heart stops beating), stroke, and embolism (blood, fat, or cement that migrates to the lungs or heart). Other risks include infection; leakage of bone cement into the muscle and tissue surrounding the spinal cord and nerve injury that can, in rare instances, cause paralysis; leakage of bone cement into the blood vessels resulting in damage to the blood vessels, lungs, and/or heart. This procedure is not for everyone. A prescription is required. Your physician can discuss these and other risks and whether this procedure is right for you. 1. Wardlaw D, et al.
