This summer I had 12 compression fractures in rapid succession (T6-L5). I had kyphoplasty on T10, T12, and L1 in one procedure, and T6-9 in a second. L2-5 were left to heal conservatively. I am extremely pleased with the kyphoplasty. The untreated fractures have supposedly stabilized, but they continue to cause pain. I wish they had been treated as well, but it is too late now. I
had an excellent care team of interventional radiologists/neurosurgeons and that made a huge difference in my trust and decisions. Good luck to you.
