I’m sorry to hear of your issues! I also had a T12 CF a few years ago along with three previous lumbar fractures and I have read about what you’re describing 🥹.

I consulted a spine specialist about kyphoplasty after I was told my T12 CF was a “burst fracture”. Here’s what he told me: In fractures that are healing/healed, it’s not the best procedure. He recommends kyphoplasty in cases where there is a sudden fracture (fall, car accident, etc). Because my T12 would likely have gone unnoticed, save a random X-ray, it was too late for surgery.

Best to you! Cheers!
