<br/><br/> Balloon kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure for treatment of painful vertebral fractures which is intended to reduce pain and improve quality of life . Kyphoplasty is indicated in painful vertebral compression fractures in the absence of neurologic signs and is favored in fractures that are less than three months old
