OBJECTIVE Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein–2 (rhBMP-2) is used in spinal arthrodesis procedures to enhance bony fusion. Research has suggested that it the most cost-effective fusion enhancer, but there are significant upfront costs for healthcare system. The primary objective of this study was determine whether intraoperative dosing and corresponding changed with surgeon cost awareness. secondary describe surgical complications before after awareness rhBMP-2 cost.

OBJECTIVE Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is the most common treatment for degenerative disease of spine. Given high rate pseudarthrosis in multilevel stand-alone ACDF, there a need to explore utility novel grafting materials. In this study, authors present single-institution retrospective study patients with spine who underwent ACDF surgery or without cellular allograft supplementation. METHODS prospectively collected database, 28 supplemented (ViviGen) 25 decellularized...
