Dr. Lieberman is a proponent of minimally invasive vertebral augmentation techniques including vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty. Kyphoplasty, is a procedure that is similar to vertebroplasty, but it features inflatable balloon technology. Dr Lieberman maintains that the techniques are not mutually exclusive, each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and are tools to be used at the correct time when treating the spectrum of vertebral compression fractures.
