Default re fractures and kyphoplasty

Ok so this is for anybody that knows ... Judy, Mark..??

From point of diagnosis of fracture how long does a surgeon or doctor usually wait to do kyphoplasty? My father wasn't offered this but I thought it might have been his advanced age. I'm just wondering since I have osteoporosis.

Also when you have a spinal fracture is the pain easily discerned from other type of pain like disc related pain?

It sounds like a pretty quick and easy fix. What re the parameters for use? What are the exclusions for getting kyphoplasty?
