Rate of fusion using novel synthetic bone graft mixed with cellular allograft product in lumbar fusions
The cellular allograft and synthetic mixture demonstrated significant arthrodesis rate at 92%, which trends higher than historically reported results for iliac crest autograft. Important to note, the absence of reduced arthrodesis rate in particular at-risk groups, such as the elderly, obese, and those with osteoporosis, suggests this mixture can be used in an extensive patient population and can overcome historically challenging arthrodesis patient cohorts.
