Had l1compression fracture.with history of osteoporsis kephoplasty done after 40 days xray showed little compression in the l1bone what your advise ?

Can help pain: I am not sure what your question is so I am not sure what advise you are looking for. Kyphoplasty, in my experience can acutely help pain. A lot of insurers are not paying for the procedures any more because long term data shows no benefit.
