There are two procedures available to repair various types of compression fractures of the spine. If you are looking for a minimally invasive procedure, your options are vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty.
Vertebral compression fractures (VCF) are the most common osteoporotic fracture. ...
Pam, this is an excellent and informative article. I appreciate this info very much, along with the one on vertebral fractures. It will help me talk to my doctors and get the spinal x-ray as a starting baseline. Thank you,
Tom
Hi Tom: Glad I could help!! Good luck with your X-rays, I hope you don't have a fracture, but if so maybe one of these minimally invasivive procedures can help you out.
Good luck and Thanks for the kind words.
