A member asked:
Can you explain a procedure called, "kyproplasty".?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For spine fractures: I think you mean kyphoplasty. Although I do not do these procedures, there is abundant material on the internet (search the mayo clinic site for example). It is for compression fractures of the spine and is a way of restoring the height of the compressed vertebra. A ballon is inserted to make a cavity in the bone which is then filled with bone cement.
