Two surgical procedures, both minimally invasive, can help fracture-related back pain:

  • Kyphoplasty involves putting in a balloon to expand the fractured vertebrae. The space created by the balloon is then filled with bone cement. The balloon is withdrawn.
  • Vertebroplasty involves injection of the cement, but without the use of the balloon
