Time heals: There was a study on vertebroplasty - apparently it is not a useful procedure. Medicare will not reimburse for them I am told. Check with your doc. This [pic is a fx of L4 by the way. P.S. Did they do an mri? You need to make sure you do not have cord compression.

Depends: It depends on the type and location of the fracture and the age of the patient. Often times, wearing a brace and avoiding strenuous activities will allow a compression fracture to heal in younger patients. In the elderly, if these measures fail, a kyphoplasty may be an option.
