Abstract
A method for stabilizing a vertebral body is provided. The method includes creating one or more openings into a central region of the vertebral body and dispose at least one cannula in the one or more openings. The method includes forming an internal cavity within the vertebral body through at least one of the one or more openings. The method includes injecting bone particles into the internal cavity of the vertebral body through a bone particle catheter disposed within the at least one cannula. The method includes applying pressure to the bone particles within the internal cavity of the vertebral body, thereby compressing them against a sidewall of the internal cavity. The method includes removing the at least one cannula and closing the one or more openings, thereby sealing the bone particles within the internal cavity of the vertebral body. A system for stabilizing a vertebral body is also provided.
