Stryker Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive treatment that relieves the pain associated with vertebral compression fractures. It is performed by specialists, including interventional radiologists, neuroradiologists, surgeons, and pain management physicians, and involves injecting bone cement into the vertebrae to stabilize the fracture. X-ray guidance is used to ensure accurate placement.
