The use of vertebroplasty in Arthritis of the Knee
 |
Is it possible to use the procedure of vertebroplasty to help correct and manage the pain of osteoarthritis, and is so could you please send me information about this. Also, could you send me the articles that you had listed last month in your newsfeed about this procedure and also about the procedure of kyphoplasty. |

Vertebroplasty cannot be used for OA of the knees. Since one theory is that cartilage damage in OA is caused by increased hardening and compaction of bone on the tibial surface due to local bone changes, vertebroplasty of bone in the knee could make the situation worse. |
