I have a Question about Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty for Bone Mets

[Lala]

I am wondering if anyone has had a Kyphoplasty or Vertebroplasty procedure to stabilize their bones. I am very interested in knowing more about your experience. I am considering the possibilities for myself.



An MRI of my Thoracic Bones has revealed that I have a compression fracture in one of my vertebral bones. My oncologist has recommended that I consider having something done to stabilize this bone. I am in the process of scheduling a consult with an Orthopaedic Oncologist. I can imagine that I will of course have to have stable bone mets to even consider this possibility. I am having another MRI in a few weeks to present this to the Orthopaedic Oncologist for review.



I would really appreciate it if you can share your experience with me if you have done this.

Thank You in advance.
