Summary
Summary
Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are two new procedures introduced in the past five years to treat pain from osteoporotic compression fractures. These procedures are carried out by neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and interventional radiologists - and the popularity of these procedures is growing. Because vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty were introduced recently, there is little information available on them. This book will fill this gap in literature.
