Synopsis
Four hundred and thirty four patients in need of either an ankle or hindfoot arthrodesis were randomized to undergo the procedure using either the recombinant human (rh) PDGF-BB/TCP or autograft as bone fusion promoters to determine the non-inferiority of rhPDGF-BB/TCP. Results indicated that rhPDGF-BB/TCP proved to be non-inferior to autograft with respect to fusion rates, clinical union, radiogr...
