Bone morphogenetic proteins and spinal fusion

Abstract excerpt

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have increasingly become a focus of research in the laboratory, with animal models, and in human clinical trials for the treatment of spinal disorders. Basic science research has elucidated the putative mechanism of action of BMPs, and the efficacy of BMPs in inducing bone formation has been evaluated in multiple animal models of anterior and posterior spinal fusion. Not only...
