Vertebroplasty
Patients with osteoporosis are prone to compression fractures in the spine bones, or vertebrae. The
front of a vertebra cracks under pressure, causing it to collapse in height. More than 700,000 such
fractures occur every year in the United States. These fractures often cause poor back posture,
debilitating pain, and difficulty completing routine activities.
