vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty

[arby]

Sheryl (or anybody else out there with experience with this)-

       I have a friend who is 84 years old, female, who fell down the stairs in her home two weeks ago. She fractured her L2 vertebrae and needs either a vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty to repair it. She is presently interned at Bangkok Phuket hospital in Phuket and doesn't feel confident in the one surgeon there who wants to do the procedure. Can you recommend a surgeon here in Thailand that is a specialist and has a lot of experience in repairing spinal injuries such as hers ? 

 

Thanks in advance,

  Arby

This US-trained doctor at Bangkok Hospital in Bangkok has significant experience with this procedure:
