Abstract
Local administration of rhBMP-2/FS showed a positive trend in improving BMD, microarchitectural parameters and mechanical strength of osteoporotic vertebra. Slow release of rhBMP-2 using FS appeared to be an effective method of protein delivery. The local treatment of osteoporosis in the spine can increase bone strength and reduce fracture risk quickly.
