KEY FACTS

  • Terminology

    • Imaging

      • Top Differential Diagnoses

        TERMINOLOGY

        • Abbreviations

          • Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2)

        • Definitions

          • rhBMP-2
            • Member of transforming growth factors-β super family of proteins
            • Used in surgery to decrease time of graft union and to reduce morbidity from nonunion
            • These types of proteins have roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and embryologic development
            • BMP induces differentiation of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells into osteogenic cells and enhances function of osteoblasts
            • BMP-induced endochondral ossification → undifferentiated mesenchymal cells develop into chondrocytes
              • Chondrocytes lay down cartilage, which is later resorbed by chondroblasts
              • Allows osteoblasts to begin new bone formation
            • BMPs also have role in regulation of osteoclastogenesis
              • This regulation can lead to stimulation of bone resorption
            • rhBMP-2 commercially supplied in USA as INFUSE bone graft (Medtronic)
              • Delivered on absorbable collagen sponge
              • FDA approved for use with LT-CAGE (Medtronic) device for anterior lumbar interbody fusion
            • rhBMP-7 commercially available as OP-1 putty (Olympus Biotech)
