Zusammenfassung:	A system for stabilizing a bone structure including first and second expandable members movable in contracted state to a first location within the bone structure. The expandable members are expandable to form first and second cavities within the bone structure. The first expandable member is can be contracted while maintaining the second expandable member in the expanded state. The first expandable member is removable, and curable material configured for delivery into the first cavity. The second expandable structure is contractable and removable. Curable material is configured for delivery into the second cavity. A height of the bone structure is restored via expansion of the two expandable members, and retained throughout use of the system, first by the second expandable member during delivery of curable material into the first cavity, and then by the hardened material in the first cavity during removal of the second expandable member.
