Bone Morphogenic Protein Use in Spinal Surgery.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bone morphogenic protein (BMP) provides excellent enhancement of fusion in many spinal surgeries. BMP should be a cautionary tale about the use of industry-sponsored research, perceived conflicts of interest, and holding the field of spinal surgery to the highest academic scrutiny and ethical standards. In the case of BMP, not having a transparent base of literature as it was approved led to delays in allowing this superior technology to help patients.

Available Findings Fail to Provide Strong Evidence of the Role of Bone Morphogenic Protein-2 in Femoral Head Osteonecrosis
Despite widespread research on non-traumatic femoral head osteonecrosis (FHON), there is no consensus about preventative treatment options. Insufficient blood supply and increased intra-osseous pressure are the initiating events in the majority of cases. BMPs are growth factors that belong to the transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) superfamily. Two specific formulations of BMPs have already bee...
متن کاملTakotsubo Cardiomyopathy following a L2–L5 Laminectomy and Fusion In Situ with Bone Morphogenic Protein
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is a rare, transient cardiomyopathy, with symptoms mimicking myocardial infarction. It has been reported to typically occur in postmenopausal women and is often triggered by an intense physical or emotional event with stimulation of the sympathetic response; the exact etiology, however, is uncertain. Bone morphogenic protein (BMP) is widely used in spinal fusions a...
متن کاملRetrospective study of posterior cervical fusions with rhBMP-2.
Posterior cervical decompression and fusion can be performed for various spinal conditions. Previous rates of pseudoarthrosis have been reported in up to 38% of patients. The use of bone morphogenic protein (BMP) has been approved for use in certain anterior lumbar interbody fusion techniques to decrease the incidence of pseudoarthrosis. Bone morphogenic protein in the anterior cervical spine c...
متن کاملPublic awareness of the bone morphogenic protein controversy: Evidence from news publications
BACKGROUND Use of recombinant human bone morphogenic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) in spinal fusion has seen a tremendous increase. Public awareness of rhBMP-2 and its complications has not been assessed. The authors studied published news media articles to analyze information provided to the public on this bone graft substitute. METHODS We utilized the academic database, LexisNexis, to locate newspape...
متن کاملBone morphogenetic protein for sinus augmentation.
Bone morphogenic proteins (BMP) are members of the family of transforming growth factors. Fifteen different BMP have been identified, all with varying degrees of cellular activity, including cartilageor bone-inductive properties. Two recombinant proteins are available: recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP)-2 and rhBMP-7. These products have been investigated as alternatives to au...
