STUDY DESIGN: This was a retrospective study.
OBJECTIVE: To radiographically demonstrate the distinct fusion pattern of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) in the setting of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion.
SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Studies investigating spinal fusion assisted with rhBMP-2 have yielded promising results, suggesting rhBMP-2 is an efficacious alternative to iliac crest autografts. rhBMP-2-assisted spinal fusion both hastens healing and eliminates patient morbidity from iliac crest autograft. Unique to rhBMP-assisted spinal fusion is its distinct radiographic fusion pattern as fusion is achieved. Despite promising results and increased clinical use of rhBMP-2, there remains a paucity of literature documenting this radiographic process.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included 26 patients who underwent single-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion using rhBMP-2. All data used for this study was collected from a prior FDA Investigational Device Exemption study.
RESULTS: A polyetheretherketone cage was used as an interbody disk spacer in all 26 patients. Patients were evaluated between 2 and 6 weeks after surgery and subsequently at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperative. All patients underwent plain radiography at every follow-up visit, and computed tomograhy evaluation was performed at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months as part of the study protocol. Earliest fusion was observed at 3 months in 38% of patients. Likely fusion was observed in all patients by 12 months postoperative.
CONCLUSIONS: rhBMP-2 leads to both successful interbody fusion and an enhanced fusion rate with unique imaging characteristics. Additional characteristics of BMP observed in 100% of patients included prevertebral soft-tissue swelling and early endplate resorption. Other common features included polyetheretherketone cage migration, heterotopic bone formation and cage subsidence.
