Heterotopic ossification after the use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-7

Abstract: AIMTo present the incidence of heterotopic ossification after the use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-7 (rhBMP-7) for the treatment of nonunions.METHODSBone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) promote bone formation by auto-induction. Recombinant human BMP-7 in combination with bone grafts was used in 84 patients for the treatment of long bone nonunions. All patients were evaluated radiographicaly for the development of heterotopic ossification during the standard assessment for the nonunion healing.… Show more

“…No differences concerning elastic fibers or small vessel formation could be observed between the groups. It has been demonstrated by us and others that administration of BMP-7 results in excessive bone formation [45], heterotopic ossification [46] and bone with an abnormal structure and diminished biomechanical properties [47]. This is confirmed by some other studies employing BMP-2.…”

“…Therefore, these authors recommended caution when using rhBMP-7 in the upper extremity in regions with close proximity of soft tissue to bone, and in regions where loss of motion would be problematic. Recently, it was reported that ectopic ossification after the use of rhBMP-7 in nonunion was common but did not compromise the final clinical outcome in most cases, and affected only male patients [46]. Focusing on the structure of the treatment groups in the current study, we were not able to confirm these previous findings, and furthermore, there was no relevant difference concerning comorbidities according to the Charlson comorbidity index between the cohort groups.…”

“…The adsorption of BMP‐2 to HAp/Col would be effective not only for sustaining the effect of BMP‐2 but also for preventing complications caused by excessive concentrations of BMP‐2. A clinical study using BMP‐7 combined with a bovine collagen carrier reported that 18% of the cases showed heterotopic ossification that was probably induced by unregulated release of BMP‐7 . Heterotopic ossification can cause serious complications, especially when occurring adjacent to nerve tissue .…”
