Abstract
The present invention relates in certain embodiments to systems and methods for use in osteoplasty procedures, such as vertebral compression fractures. One system for injecting a bone fill material includes a container carrying a bone fill material. An elongated introducer configured for introduction into a vertebral body is coupleable to the container to allow a flow of the bone fill material therethrough. A cooling mechanism is coupled to the container and is configured to cool the bone fill material in the container to extend the working time of the bone fill material. One method for treating a vertebra includes providing a bone fill material, cooling the bone fill material to stall the polymerization of the bone fill material, heating the bone fill material to accelerate the polymerization of the bone fill material and delivering the bone fill material into a vertebral body.
