To straighten vertebrae, the surgeon inserts a stent into the vertebral body via a cannula. There it can be aligned and then spread open to hold the vertebra so that it can subsequently be fixed with cement in the usual vertebroplasty procedure. Its appearance illustrates its ergonomic and static advantages and makes the workflow safely recognizable and tangible.
