Hello,
Cement injection in the spine is called vertebroplasty there are many reasons for injecting cement into vertebral body most common among them are vertebral compression fracture.
It's a procedure which involves around the timing of 1 hour to 2 hours and recovery will occur within 6 to 8 weeks repetitive MRI was done by your doctor to confirm the amount of fracture in particular vertebra.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
