Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are medical spinal procedure where bone cement is injected through a small hole in the skin (percutaneously) into a fractured vertebra with the goal of relieving the pain of osteoporotic compression fractures. It has been found to be ineffective in treating compression fracture of the spine. The procedures are controversial with conflicting evidence regarding their effectiveness.

I have a friend who had this surgery done. He wishes he never had it done because he's in more pain now because of it. Get as much feedback as you can on others who have had this done.
