Bone morphogenetic proteins: from structure to clinical use

Bone morphogenetic proteins: from structure to clinical use.

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are multi-functional growth factors belonging to the transforming growth factor ss superfamily. Family members are expressed during limb development, endochondral ossification, early fracture, and cartilage repair. The activity of BMPs was first identified in the 1960s but the proteins responsible for bone induction were unknown until the purification and clon...

Use of bone morphogenetic proteins in arthrodesis: clinical results.

Bone grafting is not routinely required in primary arthrodesis in the absence of infection, avascular necrosis, bone defect or previous non-union; when any of the above factors is present, autograft is the gold-standard method. However, donor site morbidity and the quantitative and qualitative limitations of autograft have led to the development of alternatives. This study documents the use of ...
