Back

This new technique was originally developed for treatment for vertebral hemangioma. Now it has been found very useful for osteoporotic compression fracture by injecting slowly bone cement into vertebral bodies through 3mm diameter needle. Back pain often disappears dramatically. Good news for elderly people.
