Implants and methods for minimally invasive augmentation and repositioning
of vertebrae may comprise one or more expandable members, e.g., stents,
implants, surrounding a balloon-tipped catheter or other expansion
device, inserted into a vertebral body or other bone. Expansion of the
expandable member within the vertebral body or other bone may reposition
the fractured bone to a desired height and augment the bone to maintain
the desired height. A bone cement or other filler can be added to further
augment and stabilize the vertebral body or other bone.
