rhBMP-2 (Infuse) at a dose of 12 mg/1.5 mg/mL combined with freeze-dried corticancellous allograft and local autogenous spinous process and lamina bone resulted in new bone formation (fusion) as determined by CT scan. In this preliminary study, fusion rates were 97.2% with consistent posterolateral bone formation. Outcomes and complications are consistent with other studies of this type.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
