1. A kyphoplasty apparatus comprising:
a coaxial balloon implant having an inflatable kyphoplasty balloon coaxially mounted to a central implant shaft and being configured to fixedly implant within a vertebral body while the inflatable kyphoplasty balloon simultaneously engages with a balloon inflation medium along an interior of the inflatable kyphoplasty balloon and with a bone filler material along an exterior of the inflatable kyphoplasty balloon, wherein:
the central implant shaft includes a proximal end, a distal end, a balloon inflation port along a circumferential shaft surface, a central conduit that extends from the proximal end to a bone filler output port at the distal end, and a detachment coupler at the proximal end configured to releasably mount with a removable delivery instrument; and
the inflatable kyphoplasty balloon is coaxially mounted to an exterior of the central implant shaft at a fixed position so that that inflatable kyphoplasty balloon is distal of the detachment coupler and is proximal of the bone filler output port, wherein the central implant shaft extends entirely through the inflatable kyphoplasty balloon.
