Judy,

Regarding your fractures, I believe that kyphoplasty is commonly used to stabilize burst fractures that occur in older and osterporotic patients. It seems like a reasonable idea to use it in your case. I do NOT know what to think about the idea that you thought of it first. It seems a pretty benign question, "why didn't you suggest it first". I'll be interested to hear his reply.
