Abstract
Instruments and methods for reducing and stabilizing bone fractures are presented, which include providing a cavity in bone, such as a vertebra, wherein the cavity is proximate to an endplate of the bone, such as a vertebra endplate, and wherein the cavity extends radially from a passage into the cavity. The methods further include providing a device, such as an inflatable device, into the cavity and manipulating the device for expansion. The cavity may be expanded thereby reducing and/or stabilizing the fracture. The fracture may be further reduced and/or stabilized by adding a material into the cavity.
