Hi ~ The only thing I know about it is they inject an acrylic cement into the fractured vertebra to stabilize it. It sure SOUNDS like a good procedure, but so did my surgeries, and now I'm disabled. LOL

Hopefully some others will chime in with their opinions, experiences. Best of luck and I'll say some prayers for your dear Mom. God bless. Hugs, Lee
