BMP-2 is approved for
All other applications
1,000,000 BG procedures / year 50% spine fusion 5 - 40% nonunion 10-25% morbidity graft harvest Biology poorly understood
Bone formation 14 days post-implantation of rhBMP-2/ACS
Physiologic bone in an ectopic location – NOT ectopic bone… stupid (H. Reddi)
Transverse Process
Ceramic without BMP Ceramic with BMP
Autograft x 5 wk
rhBMP-2 Collagen

ACS is a good carrier when protected from compression Future use of ACS in applications under compression require “bulking agents”
