Vertebroplasty

One procedure performed by the minimally invasive spine specialists at Indiana Spine Group is vertebroplasty. Vertebroplasty is one of the treatment options for vertebral compression fractures.

During vertebrplasty,a very specialized orthopaedic cement is injected into the vertebral body. The advantages of vertebroplasty include: immediate fix of the fractured area of the spine, that area of the bone is stronger as a result of the cement and the patient has pain relief in 1-2 days.
