Spinal Implant Procedure for Compression Fractures

A spinal implant is an outpatient procedure that is performed by a spine neuro-interventional radiologist. A spinal implant procedure, also known as a vertebral implant or spine jack, can restore a patient’s vertebral height and significantly reduce the pain associated with compressed or fractured vertebrae. The height restoration achieved with this procedure can also reduce fractures occurring next to the original fracture.
