Abstract
The present invention relates in certain embodiments to medical devices and methods for use in osteoplasty procedures, such as vertebral compression fractures. One method for treating an abnormal vertebra includes flowing a bone fill material through an introducer into a vertebral body along a first direction and sensing a flow of said bone fill material about an outer surface of the introducer in a second direction different from said first direction. In other embodiments, a signal is generated to alert a physician of said bone fill material flow in said second direction.
