Yes : Yes i would recommend bringing your x-rays, ct, MRI and all your records to spine surgeon to evaluate your fracture and/or treatment of your fracture. Please see my health guide on vertebral body compression fractures. Good luck!

Yes: I personally would take my films to an interventional radiologist who is trained in the interpretation of imaging and also has been trained in performing vertebroplasty.
