Bone Health · Compression Fractures · Osteoporosis

A bone doctor who not only treats your fracture, but also the root cause.

miiSpine delivers complete care for spinal compression fractures and osteoporosis — from in-office awake stabilization for immediate pain relief to a structured treatment program that protects against the next break.

Mortality within one year of a hip fragility fracture — a fragility fracture is a life-threatening event, not just a broken bone.

~80%

Of patients who suffer a fragility fracture are never evaluated or treated for the underlying osteoporosis.

Months you should wait for pain relief. Awake vertebral augmentation treats painful compression fractures in the office.

Why this matters

Osteoporosis is widely under-diagnosed and under-treated.

Most fragility fractures expose a problem that started long before the break. By the time a patient reaches the ER, the window to prevent the next fracture is already closing. miiSpine closes the gap.

The diagnosis gap

DEXA alone doesn't diagnose osteoporosis.

A DEXA T-score is one input, not the whole picture. Bone quality, fracture history, FRAX risk, and imaging all matter. Relying on density alone misses patients who are actively fracturing at "normal" scores.

The treatment gap

A fracture is the loudest symptom — and the most ignored.

The single strongest predictor of a future fracture is a past one. Yet the majority of fragility-fracture patients leave without an osteoporosis work-up or a treatment plan. We change that on the first visit.

The timing gap

"Wait six months and see" isn't a plan.

Patients with painful vertebral compression fractures are too often told to wait it out on bracing and opioids. Prolonged immobility accelerates bone loss, deconditioning, and decline.

The monitoring gap

Treatment without tracking is guesswork.

Starting therapy is step one. Knowing whether it's working — measurably, at each visit — is what actually prevents the next fracture. That's where AutoDensity comes in.

In-office awake surgery

Relief for painful compression fractures — without the wait.

For appropriate patients, vertebral augmentation is performed awake, in the office, under local anesthesia. Most patients walk out the same day with meaningful pain relief.

No hospital admission. No general anesthesia. No six-month waiting game.

  • Same-day, in-office procedure under local anesthesia
  • Rapid pain relief instead of months of bracing
  • Avoids the risks of general anesthesia and hospitalization
  • Gets patients moving again — protecting bone and function
  • Paired immediately with osteoporosis work-up and treatment

What kyphoplasty looks like

A short overview of how vertebral augmentation stabilizes a compression fracture and relieves pain.

EOSedge low-dose imaging system

Imaging that does more

One low-dose scan. A fuller picture of the spine.

EOSedge captures full-spine, weight-bearing images in seconds at low radiation dose — and with AutoDensity, the same exam can opportunistically estimate vertebral bone mineral density. That means bone health can be assessed alongside the imaging patients already need, instead of as a separate trip.

Low-dose imaging

Full-spine and full-body capture in seconds, following the ALADA principle to minimize radiation.

Standing, weight-bearing

Images acquired in a natural standing position — how the spine actually loads.

AutoDensity BMD estimate

Opportunistic spine BMD estimation from the dual-energy image, available at the point of care.

Monitor over time

A consistent way to follow bone health at routine follow-up, supporting treatment decisions.

The osteoporosis treatment program

Treat the break. Then break the cycle.

Every compression-fracture patient enters a structured bone-health program — surgical and non-surgical — built to lower the risk of the next fracture, not just heal the current one.

Comprehensive evaluation

Diagnosis beyond the T-score

We build a complete picture of bone health so treatment is matched to real risk.

  • Full fracture-risk assessment (FRAX), not density alone
  • Imaging review and fracture characterization
  • Secondary-cause and lab work-up
  • Personalized pharmacologic and non-surgical plan
Treatment & monitoring

A plan that adapts over time

Therapy is matched to risk, then followed with objective monitoring — including AutoDensity from EOSedge — so the plan can be adjusted based on real response.

  • Surgical and non-surgical treatment of fractures
  • Pharmacologic therapy tailored to fracture risk
  • Bone health tracked at follow-up, not just at diagnosis
  • Data-driven adjustments to lower future fracture risk
