Abstract

A mechanical bone tamping device (14) for osteoporotic repair include a pair of arms (16) mounted on a spreading mechanism such as a screw jack. The mechanism is introduced into a small hole in a vertebra through a cannula (38), and is then operated to spread the arms apart, forming a cavity which may be filled with cement to fortify the vertebra.
