The Journal of Spine will publish a study on Advanced Biologics' OsteoAMP examining the different variables between allograft donors used in the product that was implanted during spinal fusion procedures.
There were 285 consecutive cervical and lumbar fusion patients who underwent the procedure and were included in the study. The bone grafts were processed from 114 donors of various ages. Here are five quick facts about the study:
• There was a 98 percent fusion rate at 12 months
• No correlation between fusion rate and allograft donor age was shown
• The product's age did not have an impact on fusion rate
• Whether the product was terminally sterilized with a low dose gamma irradiation did not make an impact on the fusion rate
• OsteoAMP could be a lower-cost alternative to recombinant growth factors
The fusion rates were evaluated through a blinded radiological fusion assessment. OsteoAMP comes in granules, compressible sponges, putty and structural grafts for different surgeon options based on patient needs.
