Example cases
Spinal fusion
Synthetic materials are becoming increasingly more common for filling of spinal cages to achieve stable fusion. Beta-TCP used in combination with autologous blood, autologous spongiosa, PRP, or bone marrow aspirate has repeatedly demonstrated excellent fusion rates, avoids the inherent risks of xenogenic and allogenic materials, and reduces or eliminates the risks from remote autologous spongiosa harvesting.
