I have been trying to do a little research on the use of BMP as an aid to, or in leiu of bone grafting during spinal fusions. From what I have seen so far, it appears to be mainly used (when it is used) in anterior -approach surgeries. From what I understand, it has limited FDA approval, and is not covered by insurance.My son will be having posterior surgery and I was just wondering if anyone out there has any info or experience to share re the use of BMP in posterior fusions, or even just direct me to a good source for current info. I am adding this to a list of questions I am compiling for our dr., but in the mean time I thought I would throw the question out to you all on the forum, my 2nd best source for info.
Thanks,
Renee
