Osteoporosis - Surgery
Surgical Procedures for Osteoporosis
Two surgical treatments, vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, may relieve pain from spinal compression fractures resulting from osteoporosis. In these procedures, a surgeon injects bone cement
through a needle into the crushed spinal bones (vertebrae).
If you experience a hip fracture due to osteoporosis, you may need surgery to repair your hip.
