Shorter Hospital Stays... QuickDraw- Bone grafting...spinal fusions still often require use of your own bone, usually taken from the "hip" or technically, the iliac crest. The downside is usually surgical pain. This can now be reduced by a minimally invasive techniue to procure your own bone Bone Substitutues "Orthobiologics" However, we now use other "man-made" alternatives which avoid having to make an incision to harvest your own bone or avoids using tissue from another human (cadaver tissue). By using "man-made" substrates we avoid the extra pain and blood loss from harvesting your own tissue and avoid any risk whatsoever of AIDs or hepatitis or other disease that could be transmitted in tissue from other humans. Examples of the "man-made" substrates include... Calcium products (Vitoss, Mozaik, Mastergraft,....) Bone morphogenetic proteins (InFuse, OP-1) |
