Bone morphogenetic protein vs. autologous iliac crest bone graft in lumbar fusion surgery .
OrthoEvidence Journal (OE Journal) - ACE Report
OE Journal. 2014;2(16):30 PLoS One. 2014 Jun 2;9(6):e97049. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0097049. eCollection 2014.19 randomized controlled trials (n=1852) were included in this meta-analysis comparing bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) to autogenous iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) in lumbar fusion for patients with lumbar degenerative disease. Results demonstrated a significantly higher fusion rate, significantly lower reoperation rate, and a significantly shorter operation time favouring BMP over ICBG. Hospital stay was borderline significant in favour of BMP, while clinical success, complication rate, blood loss, patient satisfaction, work status, return to work were not significantly different between patient cohorts.

El Índice de Fragilidad es una herramienta que ayuda en la interpretación de hallazgos significativos, proporcionando una medida de fuerza para un resultado. El Índice de Fragilidad representa el número de eventos consecutivos que es necesario añadir a un resultado dicotómico para que el hallazgo deje de ser significativo. Un número pequeño representa un hallazgo más débil y un número grande un hallazgo más fuerte.
¿Por qué se necesitaba ahora este estudio?
In lumbar fusion surgery, autogenous iliac crest bone (ICBG) is primarily used as a graft. Nonetheless, well-documented complications have included morbidity of the donor site and a high incidence of nonunion. In light of this, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have been developed as an alternative. Large scale production was achieved following advancements in gene sequencing and recombinant techniques. Both rhBMP-2 and rhBMP-7 have been approved by the FDA. This meta-analysis was needed to evaluate the comparative efficacy of BMPs to ICBG in spinal fusion surgery.
¿Cuál era la pregunta principal de la investigación?
How does the safety and efficacy of bone morphogenetic proteins compare to autogenous iliac crest bone grafts in lumbar fusion surgery?
- Fusion rate was reported in 17 studies (BMP: n=610, ICBG: n=523). Pooled analysis indicated a significant difference, in favour of BMP over ICBG, although with moderate heterogeneity (RR: 1.13 [95% CI 1.05-1.23]; p=0.003; I^2=52%). Subgroup analysis of BMP-2 only demonstrated similar results (RR: 1.16 [95% CI 1.06–1.27]; P = 0.001; I^2=62%). The BMP-7 subgroup indicated contrasting results (RR: 0.90 [95% CI 0.69-1.17]; p=0.43; I^2=0%).
- Clinical success was assessed in 8 studies (BMP: n=431, ICBG: n=265). Pooling of data demonstrated no significant difference between groups (RR: 1.04 [95% CI 0.95-1.13]; p=0.38; I^2=2%).
- Complication rate was pooled from 9 studies (BMP: n=605, ICBG: n=444) and results indicated no significant between group difference (RR: 0.96 [95% CI 0.85-1.09]; p=0.54; I^2=0%).
- Reoperation rate from 14 studies were pooled for analysis (BMP:n=1004, ICBG: n=766). Results demonstrated a significantly lower rate for BMP over ICBG (RR: 0.57 [95% CI 0.42-0.77]; p=0.0002; I^2=0.66).
- Pooled results favoured BMP over ICBG significantly, with respect to operating time (RR: -0.32 [95% CI -0.55 to -0.08]; p=0.009; I^2=79%), and hospital stay (RR: -0.56 [95% CI -1.12 to -0.01]; p=0.05; I^2=70%), whereas comparable results were observed for blood loss (RR: -50.24 [95% CI -117.38 to 16.90]; p=0.14; I^2=77%).
- Patient satisfaction, work status, and return to work were not significantly different between groups (p=0.58, p=0.63, and p=0.68, respectively) when pooled.
¿Qué es lo que más debo recordar?
Pooled analyses demonstrated significantly higher fusion rates, lower reoperation rates, and shorter operation times with bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) when compared to autogenous iliac crest bone graft. Additionally, difference in hospital stay was borderline significant in favour of BMP, whereas clinical success, complication rate, blood loss, patient satisfaction, work status, return to work were comparable between groups.
¿Cómo afectará esto al cuidado de mis pacientes?
The results suggest that bone morphogenetic protein increases fusion rate while reducing reoperation rates and operation times for lumbar fusion in patients with systematic lumbar degenerative disease. Clinical success and complication rates, however, were similar to those of the standard autogenous iliac crest bone grafting procedure. Additional high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to determine the long-term effects of bone morphogenetic protein, and whether it is superior to autogenous iliac crest bone grafting.
