Bone morphogenetic proteins are osteoinductive factors which have gained popularity in orthopaedic surgery and especially in spine surgery. The use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 has been officially approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration only for single level anterior lumbar interbody fusion, nevertheless it is widely used by many surgeons with off-label indications. Despite advantages in bone formation, its use still remains a controversial issue and several complications have been described by authors who oppose their wide use.
骨形态发生蛋白是骨诱导因子,在骨科手术尤其是脊柱手术中越来越受欢迎。重组人骨形态发生蛋白-2的使用仅在美国食品药品监督管理局正式批准用于单节段前路腰椎椎间融合术,但许多外科医生仍广泛用于非适应证情况。尽管在骨形成方面有优势,但其使用仍然是一个有争议的问题,反对广泛使用的作者描述了一些并发症。
