  Comparative Study

  INSTRUMENTED LUMBAR CORPECTOMY AND SPINAL RECONSTRUCTION COMPARING rhBMP-2/COMPRESSION RESISTANT MATRIX (CRM), rhBMP-2/ABSORBABLE COLLAGEN SPONGE (ACS)/ CERAMIC GRANULES MIXTURE, AND AUTOGRAFT IN TWO DIFFERENT DEVICES - A STUDY IN SHEEP.

  Fusion success with rhBMP-2 and autograft in titanium or PEEK corpectomy devices was evaluated in a sheep lumbar corpectomy model. The 6 treatment groups included titanium mesh or PEEK corpectomy devices filled with rhBMP-2 on a compression-resistant matrix (CRM) carrier; rhBMP-2 in a morselized absorbable collagen sponge (ACS) carrier combined with resorbable ceramic granules; and autograft. ⋯ Both of the rhBMP-2 formulations have the potential to effect bony fusion and vertebral reconstruction within the corpectomy devices.
