Abstract
The present invention relates in certain embodiments to systems for treating vertebral compression fractures. In one embodiment, a trocar with a flexible tip is provided to create a curved path in cancellous bone. An injector can be introduced into the vertebra in communication with the curved path for delivery of bone fill material into the curved path. Optionally, thermal energy can be applied to the bone fill material prior to injection into the curved path in cancellous bone to alter a property (e.g., viscosity) of the bone fill material.
