  • Vertebroplasty works well to relieve pain from spinal compression fractures and helping to stabilize the fracture. During this procedure: A needle is inserted into the damaged vertebrae.
  • X-rays help ensure that it's done with accuracy.
  • The doctor injects a bone cement mixture into the fractured vertebrae.
  • The cement mixture hardens in about 10 minutes.
  • The patient typically goes home the same day or after a one-night hospital stay.
