She desperately needed the kyphoplasty, was in so much pain. Luckily the procedure stabilized the fracture and the pain subsided. However, she was not pleased to then need another a month later (although that fracture was not as painful), as the cement does make the area more solid than mother nature intended. Since she was quite fragile, I guess it was more likely to occur. After the surgeon did the 2nd procedure (including the neighboring one that could come into play down the road) she did not suffer any more vertebral fractures that we were aware of the next few years of her life.
Just wanted to let you know to ask about any possibility of this.. I do not know current technology or outcomes as it was 10 - 12 years ago. She was in her mid 80's at the time of the kyphoplasties.
