Synopsis
100 patients scheduled for posterolateral fusion due to severe spinal stenosis, grade 1 spondylolisthesis, or spondylolysis were randomized to graft material of either Escherichia coli-derived recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) in a hydroxyapatite carrier or an autologous iliac crest bone graft. Patients were assessed primarily for fusion success on CT at 12 and 24 weeks. Sec...
