Osteoporosis - Surgery

Surgery

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. For more information, see the topic Hip Fracture.
