Bone morphogenetic protein use in spine surgery—complications and outcomes: a systematic review

Abstract: This literature review confirms that the use of rhBMP-2 following FDA-approved recommendations (i.e. one-level ALIF surgery with an LT-cage) is safe. The rate of complications is low and the AEs had been identified by the FDA during the pre-marketing clinical trials. The clinical efficiency of rhBMP-2 is equal or superior to that of allogenic or autologous bone graft in respect to fusion rate, low back pain disability, patient satisfaction and rate of re-operations. For all other off-label use, the safety and … Show more

“…Particularly, the pro‐osteogenic effect of BMP‐2 has been widely studied . On the negative side, rapid degradation and enzymatic deactivation of BMP‐2 as well as its numerous side‐effects (i.e., neurological deficits or heterotopic ossifications) limit its potential application . A “milder” way of stimulating bone ingrowth and vascularization of HA scaffolds might be the usage of ECM proteins.…”

“…The most severe complications were described in spine surgery, where the use of rhBMP-2 was associated with an increasing rate of vertebral osteolysis, graft subsidence, graft migration, formation of neutralizing antibodies against BMPs, radiculitis, haematoma or seroma, ectopic bone formation, pulmonary and neurological complications [60][61][62]. Due to these problems and to the high proportion of surgery performed with BMPs deviating for the original approved indications [63], the FDA issued a warning regarding the off label use of rhBMP-2 (INFUSE®) in cervical spine [64]. Considering the potential adverse events of BMPs, this systematic review on the treatment of bone fractures, non union, and osteonecrosis, also focused on the literature evidence of complications related to these orthopaedic conditions.…”

“…The optimum release pattern of rhBMP-2 has remained to be established, and excessive dosages of BMP may be dangerous, as they have other effects in processes including organogenesis, cell differentiation, cell proliferation and apoptosis. Furthermore, the production and purification of the recombinant protein is costly, making this therapy expensive (1214). …”
