Abstract
An expandable device includes an expanded configuration and an unexpanded configuration. The expandable device is sized and configured for introduction into the cancellous bone volume of the vertebral body through the percutaneous access path while in the unexpanded condition. The expandable device is also sized and configured for expansion while disposed within the cancellous bone volume from the unexpanded configuration toward the expanded configuration, to create a cavity. The expandable device includes material sized and configured for controlling the expansion so that the expandable device expands more in an inferior-to-superior direction than in a lateral direction, so that the cavity that is created occupies less than the cancellous bone volume.
