Synopsis

36 patients undergoing decompressive laminectomy and single-level uninstrumented fusion were randomized to either a OP-1 putty or autogenous iliac crest bone graft for degenerative spondylolisthesis and symptomatic spinal stenosis. The use of OP-1 had comparable rates of radiographic fusion, clinical improvement, and overall success rates to the autograft controls at 48 months after surgery.
