What is bone morphogenic protein (BMP, OP-1, etc.)?

0

A. This is a hormone that is a normal part of bone. It promotes bone healing and bone growth. It can now be made artificially and is used to increase the rate of success in lumbar fusions. It may cause nerve injury if placed too close to the nerve roots so care is taken to keep it far away from the nerves.
