Complications and cancer rates in spine fusion with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2).

Julia Vavken, +3 more
- 01 Dec 2016 - 
TL;DR: rhBMP-2 is associated with a higher rate of general complications as well as retrograde ejaculation, HO, and cervical tissue swelling in spine fusion, and there is a slightly increased risk of new onset of tumors, however, without statistical significance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complications and Cancer Rates in Spine Fusion with Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (rhBMP-2)

Julia Vavken, +3 more
- 01 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: To quantitatively synthesize the available best evidence for general complications, heterotopic ossification (HO), retrograde ejaculation, cervical swelling, and cancer rates with the use of rhBMP-2 in lumbar and cervical spine fusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Platelet concentrates in spine fusion: meta-analysis of union rates and complications in controlled trials

Julia Vavken, +4 more
- 01 May 2016 - 
TL;DR: The use of platelet concentrates in spine fusion shows significantly decreased union rates compared with the control group, however, complication and revision rates were not significantly increased and the current data do not recommend the use of Platelet concentrate in spine Fusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synostosis of the sacroiliac joint as a developmental variant, or ankylosis due to sacroiliitis?

Robyn Melanie Benz, +4 more
- 01 Sep 2014 - 
TL;DR: The role of annexin II in angiogenesis and tumor progression: a potential therapeutic target and a possible therapeutic target.
Journal ArticleDOI

Union Rate and Complications in Spine Fusion with Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-7: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Julia Vavken, +5 more
- 01 Mar 2016 - 
TL;DR: The current best evidence to assess effectiveness and safety of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-7 (rhBMP-7) as a biological stimulant in spine fusion was not able to find, and there was no evidence for increased complication or revision rates with rhB MP-7.
