Implants and methods for minimally invasive augmentation and repositioning of vertebrae may comprise one or more expandable members, e.g., stents, implants, surrounding a balloon-tipped catheter or other expansion device, inserted into a vertebral body or other bone. Expansion of the expandable member within the vertebral body or other bone may reposition the fractured bone to a desired height and augment the bone to maintain the desired height. A bone cement or other filler can be added to further augment and stabilize the vertebral body or other bone.

L~invention concerne des implants et des méthodes pour augmenter et repositionner des vertèbres de manière très peu invasive pouvant comprendre un ou plusieurs membres extensibles, par exemple, des stents, des implants, entourant un cathéter avec embout à ballon ou autre appareil d'expansion inséré dans un corps vertébral ou une autre structure osseuse. Une expansion dudit membre extensible dans le corps vertébral ou autre structure osseuse permet de repositionner l'os fracturé à une hauteur désirée et d'augmenter l'os pour maintenir la hauteur désirée. Un ciment osseux, ou autre matière de remplissage, peut être ajouté pour augmenter et stabiliser davantage le corps vertébral ou autre structure osseuse.
