Osteoconductive Provides structure or scaffold to support bone formation Ca-Phosphate, ceramics, synthetic polymers,
Osteoinductive Induces differentiation of cells and new bone growth BMP, demineralized bone matrix
Osteogenesis Provides stem cells with osteogenic potential that directly form new bone Bone marrow aspirate
Combined Combinations of above Autograft
BMP or bone morphogenic protein is an osteogenic substance that has
significant potential for increasing union rates in orthopedic surgery, but
which is a source of significant controversy. Infuse (Medtronic), or rHBMP2, has had tremendous results in demonstrating efficacy of bone production
and increasing fusion rates. This product appears to have a great application
in high-risk patients undergoing lumbar fusion. These indications for its use
are very specific and should be limited to this small set of patients. Recently,
the FDA notified health care professionals of life-threatening complications
material’s wear and degradation processes and properties reflect on their
suitability as implants.
Biologic implants such as bone graft are usually biologically inert or biocompatible. Different bone grafts are divided based on the materials’ ability
to stimulate bone production directly, induce the growth of bone from host
tissue, or be a scaffold to facilitate the ingrowth of bone produced by the
host. It is crucial when using these products that specific goals or indications
are used, in order to achieve successful surgical outcomes.

associated with the recombinant human bone morphogenic protein
(rhBMP) when it is used in the cervical spine. The agency had received 38
reports of complications during the previous 4 years, associated with its use
in cervical spine fusions, for which it is not approved. The complications
included swelling of neck and throat tissue, which resulted in compression
of the airway and/or neurological structures in the neck. Some reports
describe difficulty swallowing, breathing, or speaking. NASS and AANS
have all come out with statements recommending that surgeons not use
BMP off-label in the cervical spine.
SUMMARY
Biocompatibility of a biomaterial is directly dependent upon the response of
the host tissue. Factors that influence this response are the site of implantation, the function and size of the implant, and the duration of implantation.
An unintentional consequence of implanting objects into a host is the solubility of implanted material and its dissemination into bodily tissue. This
dissemination may be local or throughout the body at distant sites, with
little or no effect or with potentially life-threatening effects.
Metals used today (titanium, Co-Cr, and stainless steel 316L) have generally good biologic profiles and are considered safe to implant. Hypersensitivity reactions may occur and are most likely with nickel exposure. No good
screening tests are available to determine who may experience an exaggerated immune response with metal implantation. Corrosion is another large
part of a metal’s biocompatibility profile and plays a part in a potential
hypersensitivity reaction which in itself can lead to mechanical failure of the
implant.
Plastic compounds are a growing area of research and have been safely
