Abstract:
Systems and methods for height restoration and stabilization of a bone structure. An expandable member is directed in a contracted state to a first target site within the bone structure. The expandable member is transitioned from a contracted state to an expanded state within the bone structure. A curable material is delivered to a second target site within the bone structure while the expandable member remains in the expanded state within the bone structure at the first target site. The expandable member is transitioned from the expanded state to the contracted state. The expandable is removed member from the bone structure. Transitioning the expandable member to the expanded state may alter the vertebral body from a fractured height to a restored height greater than the fractured height. The curable material may be delivered within the vertebral body while the first expandable member maintains the vertebral body at the restored height.
