A method of treating a bone of a patient includes identifying a portion of the patient to be protected. A cannula is provided that includes a shaft extending between opposite first and second end surfaces. The shaft includes an inner surface defining a lumen. The cannula includes a scoop extending from the second end surface. The scoop includes an inner surface that is continuous with the inner surface of the shaft and an opposite outer surface. The cannula is inserted into the bone such that the outer surface of the scoop is positioned adjacent to the portion of the patient to be protected. Aballoon is inserted into the cannula such that the balloon is positioned within the scoop. The balloon is inflated such that the balloon expands away from the scoop as the balloon is inflated and creates a void in the bone. Systems are disclosed. 一种治疗患者骨骼的方法包括识别所述患者中待受保护的一部分。提供插管，其包括在相对的第一端部表面与第二端部表面之间延伸的轴件。轴件包括界定内腔的内表面。插管包括从第二端部表面延伸的勺形。勺形包括与轴件的内表面连续的内表面和相对的外表面。将插管插入到骨骼中，以使得勺形的外表面被定位成与患者中待受保护的部分相邻。将球囊插入到插管中，以使得球囊被定位于勺形内。
