@bebagar, bone cement is more has a greater likelihood of leaking if the fracture is 70% or greater. If you can a skilled surgeon who is willing, it could be worthwhile.
The advantage of height restoration, (especially with wedge fractures) is that it restores some of the spinal configuration in fracture, which is the bent forward position.
It is really good that you are having a third opinion. Vertebroplasty might be a good option or fusion might advantage you more. I'm sorry to hear about that fracture. They can be so very painful. Best wishes.
