Ive heard a little bit about bone protein in fusion surgeries. What is it?
This new clinical study trial approved by the FDA will eliminate pelvic bone grafts and metal implants for fusion surgeries. An incision is made through the left side of the abdomen, the disc material is removed and an rhBMP implant, made of a genetically produced bone protein, is inserted into the disc space with a bone graft. The rhBMP implant will help fuse together the vertebrae and stop motion at the painful vertebral segment.
