Title Guidelines for the performance of fusion procedures for degenerative disease of the lumbar spine. Part 16: bone graft extenders and substitutes
Date 2005
Description Standards. The use of autologous bone or rhBMP-2 bone graft substitute is recommended in the setting of an ALIF in conjunction with a threaded titanium cage. Guidelines. There is insufficient evidence to recommend a treatment guideline. Options. 1) Recombinant human BMP-2 in combination with HA and tricalcium phosphate may be used as a substitute for autograft bone in some cases of PLF. 2) Several formulations of calcium phosphate exist and are recommended as bone graft extenders, especially when used in combination with autologous bone.
