DRIVERS AND TRENDS
Vertebroplasty, a minimally-invasive procedure that involves the injection of a formulated bone cement mixture into the fracture,
has gained acceptance as an effective method of treating spinal compression fractures after conservative efforts have failed. Meanwhile, kyphoplasty,
which involves the use of a balloon tamp to expand the fractured bone, and the use of Kyphonfs proprietary technology for this procedure, is
experiencing rapid uptake. The use of both procedures could increase as new products are introduced, and treatment continues to move away from more
conservative efforts.
