Claim Text:
1. A bone reduction device comprising: a fill tube extending along a longitudinal axis from a proximal end to an opposite distal end, the fill tube comprising an inner surface that defines a lumen extending from the proximal end to the distal end along the longitudinal axis; an inflatable body attached to the distal end of the fill tube, the inflatable body having an inner surface that defines a fillable cavity, the fillable cavity being in fluid communication with the lumen; an inner restraining member continuously connected to the inner surface of the inflatable body along the longitudinal axis so as to restrain expansion of the inflatable body in a manner that defines a flat horizontal exterior surface of the inflatable body when the inflatable body is fully inflated; and a stylet positioned within the lumen, the stylet comprising proximal and distal flat marker portions, the flat horizontal exterior surface extending along the longitudinal axis from the proximal flat marker portion to the distal flat marker portion.
