few quick questions for Kyphoplasty patient?
Kristin 2 Posts Hello, I am doing some research on Kyphoplasty and would love to ask a few questions of a patient that has undergone this surgery. Does anyone have a couple of minutes to answer a few quick Qs? The report is for the University of Texas, they are evaluating a new Kyphoplasty balloon and I would love to hear about your experiences. Thanks! Kristin

I am hoping to learn about your experience:

when and why did you have the surgery?
how much did it help you?
how was the recovery?
do you know which type of balloon was used?
roughly how much did the operation cost?

Thanks again!
Kristin
