A system and method for treating bone abnormalities including vertebral compression fractures and the like. In one method, an elastomeric composite implant body is inserted into bone. A rigid insert can be inserted into the elastomeric composite implant body. The elastomeric composite implant body can be deformed with the rigid insert to thereby form an interference fit between the bone and the implant.
