Abstract
Evidence supports the hypothesis that off-label use of rhBMP-2 in TLIF procedures is relatively effective for achieving bone fusion at rates similar to patients receiving autograft. Patients exhibited similar complication rates between the two groups, with the BMP group exhibiting slightly higher rates of radiculitis and seroma.
