Vertebroplasty in Spine

Vertebroplasty is a treatment that injects cement into a cracked or broken spinal bone to help relieve pain. Spinal bones are called vertebrae. vertebroplasty are ways of treating vertebral body compression fractures, which are small breaks in the thick mass of bone that make up the front part of your spinal column (the vertebral body). Vertebral body fractures lead to the collapse or compression of a vertebra, causing your spine to shorten and curve forward.
