Vertebroplasty

Mayo Clinic's approach

Collaboration

At Mayo Clinic, specialists in radiology, neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, endocrinology, and physical medicine and rehabilitation work together as a multidisciplinary team to evaluate and treat compression fractures caused by osteoporosis. This means that you're not getting just one opinion — you benefit from the knowledge and experience of each specialist.

Technology

Mayo Clinic specialists use the latest imaging technology to pinpoint the source of back pain. During vertebroplasty, Mayo specialists use sophisticated image guidance and minimally invasive techniques that speed your recovery.
