Vertebral augmentation is a type of minimally invasive procedure used to treat pain caused by a vertebral compression fracture. There are two forms of vertebral augmentation, kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty. During a kypholasty procedure, a balloon inserted into the vertebra to first restore the compressed vertebra before injecting cement. This practice helps re-establish the height and shape of the vertebra, decreasing both pain and spinal curvature.
