    "description": "The same cement-stabilization of a collapsed vertebra as its mid-back counterpart, but performed in the lower back. A needle enters the crushed vertebral body, a cavity is created inside it, and bone cement is injected to shore up the bone, all under X-ray guidance. The code identifies the lumbar spine specifically; treating an additional vertebra in the same sitting is reported on top of this one.",
