Bone Graft Technique Using BMP

This video on bone graft technique using BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) describes the new technique of bone graft and use of BMP and compares fusion for the lower back using the older technique of bone graft for lumbar fusion. BMP is a human synthetic protein that causes your own stem cells to turn into bone cells and has been revolutionary in changing the face of fusion surgery. BMP has increased the rate of fusion and the success of fusion for the lower back.

This video on bone graft techniques using BMP will also describe where the local fusion bone originates. This new bone graft technique using BMP eliminates the use of iliac crest bone graft, which was very uncomfortable in many patients and is supplanted by local bone graft (from the surgical area only) and the use of BMP.
