In spine surgery, osteogenic potential is classically provided by decortication of the fusion bed
and supplementation with autogenous graft material – the most widely used being iliac crest and
local bone. The process of decortication exposes
underlying cancellous bone and releases growth
factors critical to the recruitment and differentiation of osteogenic progenitor cells. These grafts
offer a source of viable osteoblasts and stem cells
that begin the process of bone healing.
Bone Healing Process
While the mechanism of bone injury in fractures
is remarkably different than spine fusion, it has
been established that the process of bone healing
is extraordinarily similar [33]. Bone healing has
been classified into three distinct yet overlapping
phases: early inflammatory, repair or proliferative, and late remodeling [34]. The inflammatory
phase begins immediately following a fracture
with hematoma formation in the injured bone and
generally lasts 1–3 days [35]. This hematoma
results from bleeding vessels within the damaged
periosteum and cancellous bone. The inflamma-
tory phase is mediated via a growth factor cascade, which includes TGF-β, BMPs, FGF, PDGF,
IGF-1, osteoprotegerin, and VEGF. These factors
are released from platelets, macrophages, and
fibroblasts within the local hematoma during the
first week and serve to begin the process of osteoinduction and osteogenesis (Table 35.1) [36].
During this critical period, cells involved in the
healing process receive their nutrient and oxygen
supply from the exposed cancellous bone and
muscle. Toward the end of the inflammatory
phase, deposition of matrix results in the formation of an immature callus.
During the repair or proliferative phase, fibroplasia occurs, leading to the replacement of the
crude callus by immature woven bone over the
course of several weeks. More specifically, the
necrotic bone at the margins of the fracture site or
decorticated bone is resorbed by recruited osteoclasts [36]. A periosteal response also occurs with
angiogenesis and formation of soft callus [37].
Within the fracture site or fusion bed, recruited
mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes within the hypoxic fracture regions.
Within these areas, soft callus will steadily take on
the appearance of cartilage and help to stabilize

the fracture site [36]. Chondrocyte growth and differentiation are stimulated by growth factors
released during the inflammatory phase, including
TGF-β, BMPs, FGF, PDGF, and IGF-1. Irregular
woven bone gradually replaces this cartilage via
the process of endochondral ossification [34].
During the last phase of bone repair, irregular
woven bone within the callus is transformed into
lamellar bone. This process occurs when osteoclasts resorb the newly woven bone and osteoblasts replace this matrix with the lamellar bone.
Importantly, this remodeling phase leads to restoration of mechanical strength and stability. A critical aspect of appropriate remodeling is the
biomechanical force applied to the healing site.
Lamellae are aligned parallel to the axis of the
greatest force, and adequate mechanical loading
is required to augment osteogenesis and generate
bone with the proper anatomic configuration [38].
Through the concepts of fracture fixation, it
has been well established that proper biomechanical forces are necessary for bone healing [39].
When sufficient osteogenic cells and biologic factors are present, the course of bone healing is
influenced mainly by the amount of strain and
mechanical load across a bone defect. The forces
across a fracture or bone defect, along with the
fixation, determine the interfragmentary movement. A stiff fixation minimizes interfragmentary
movements and results in limited stimulation of
callus formation, while a flexible fixation can
enhance the callus formation. However, an unstable fixation can cause the interfragmentary strain
to exceed the rupture strain of bone leading to
nonunion [
40]. Ideally, the proliferating osteo-
blasts respond to the mechanical strain, and the
final product of bone healing has the same biomechanical properties of the original bone it replaced.
Clinical Application of the Basic Science of Bone Healing
While the basic science of bone healing can be
quite complex, it is critical that spine surgeons
have a thorough understanding of how bone healing principles apply to their fusion patients. As
demonstrated above, bone repair in the context of
spine fusion is a multifaceted process that
requires five major components: a sufficient population of osteogenic cells, an osteoconductive
matrix within the region where new bone tissue is
needed, osteoinductive signals within the fusion
bed, a local blood supply, and desirable biomechanical forces.
Critical components of bone healing
1 Sufficient population of osteogenic cells
2 Osteoconductive matrix
3 Osteoinductive signals
4 Local blood supply
5 Desirable biomechanical forces
A deficiency in any one of those elements can
have a profoundly detrimental effect on spine
fusion. To date, numerous systemic factors have
been identified both in the laboratory and clinically that directly or indirectly impact bone
regeneration [41–45] (Table 35.2). A working
knowledge of the bony repair mechanisms can
allow the surgeon to maximize chances for successful fusion.

Nutritional Deficiency
Nutritional status has been well established as a
predictor of surgical outcomes in the general surgical literature for decades [
deficiencies lead to increased complication rates,
length of hospitalization, and mortality. The
impact of poor nutrition on orthopedic procedures and bone healing has more recently
become a focus of research [49]. Jensen et al.
established that nearly 35% of patients undergoing elective orthopedic procedures are clinically
malnourished, defined by serum albumin <3.5 g/
dL [50]. This rate of malnutrition should be
highly concerning for the spine surgeon because
of associations with delayed wound healing,
diminished immunocompetence, surgical site
infection, prolonged hospitalizations, and poor
bone healing [51, 52].
Identification of a nutritional deficit in preoperative spine fusion patients, especially those
undergoing an elective procedure, is critical for
maximizing the chances of a successful outcome.
While numerous methods such as anthropomorphic measurements, skin antigen testing, and
nitrogen balance studies exist for nutritional evaluation, the clinical tests most commonly used to
assess the nutritional status of surgical patients
are the serum albumin level and the total lymphocyte count. These tests are practical, costeffective, widely available, and highly
reproducible in the surgical patient population
[53]. Serum albumin is a representative marker of
visceral protein mass; decreased levels are due to
both decreased synthesis and increased catabolism. The conditions leading to decreased albumin levels are often found in patients with poor
functional and nutritional statuses. Furthermore,
decreased albumin levels are associated with
poor wound healing, postoperative infectious,
complications, mortality, and immune suppres-
54]. Serum albumin levels less than 3.5 g/
sion [
dL are widely accepted to represent a state of
malnutrition [
55]. Furthermore, the severity of
the deficiency is correlated with the incidence of
complications. In 2016, Kamath et al. reported
that joint arthroplasty patients with preoperative
albumin <3.0 g/dL had a 15.4% rate of unplanned
46–48]. Nutritional
ICU admission compared to 3.8% for patients
with an albumin 3.0–3.5 g/dL [56].
Similarly, poor nutritional status causes a
decrease in total lymphocyte count – a marker of
immune competence [57]. This decrease in
immune competence is believed to underlie the
increased risk for surgical site infection in this
patient population. Current research indicates
that protein-calorie malnutrition causes a catabolic state which limits the body’s ability to
undertake anabolic processes, including forming
new lymphocytes. A total lymphocyte count less
than 1500–2000 cells/mm3 is considered by most
authors to represent a clinical state of malnutrition [57].
When this diagnosis is made, correction of all
nutritional deficiencies should be part of the preoperative optimization process. Correction for
malnutrition is primarily accomplished conservatively through dietary counseling, as well as meal
fortification with protein and energy-rich foods
[58]. However, when patients fail conservative
management, oral nutritional supplements, such
as Ensure, can be effective in improving nutritional status [55, 59]. Risk factors for correction
failure include complex medical comorbidities,
such as gastrointestinal disease, psychiatric conditions, or cancer. These patients should be medically optimized with the aid of a comprehensive
care team before undergoing surgery.
Vitamin D Deficiency
Vitamin D plays a critical role in maintaining

effects on bone health. As vitamin D is depleted,
absorption of calcium decreases and parathyroid
hormone is upregulated. This hormonal dysregulation can cause an increase in osteoclast bone
resorption and predisposes patients to osteoporosis, osteomalacia, and fractures [
The previously unknown prevalence of vitamin D deficiency has led to a recent awareness of
this problem. In 2010, Bogunovic et al. reported
60], can have serious deleterious

that 43% of a 723-patient cohort scheduled to
undergo an orthopedic procedure were deficient
in vitamin D [
62]. In addition to predisposing to
fractures, an overabundance of osteoclastic
resorption may impede bone formation needed
for spinal arthrodesis [
63]. Considering the finan-
cial and clinical burden of pseudarthrosis, knowledge of the prevalence, evaluation, and treatment
for hypovitaminosis D is critical for all spine
surgeons.
Despite the established importance of vitamin
D in musculoskeletal health, most spine surgeons
fail to recognize the value in testing preoperative
levels. A 2009 study by Dipaola et al. revealed
that only 12% of spine surgeons order metabolic
tests, including serum levels of vitamin D, before
fusion surgery and only 20% as part of a pseudarthrosis workup [64]. This is despite the fact that
nearly 70% of patients with spine pathology are
insufficient or deficient in vitamin D, those with
severe pain being the most deficient [65, 66].
Numerous studies, both in animal models and
humans, have established vitamin D as a critical
mediator of fracture healing [67–70]. More
recently, Metzger et al. demonstrated that vitamin D modulates the consolidation of bone after
grafting for posterolateral spinal fusion in a rat
model. Specifically, their results indicate that
increased levels of dietary vitamin D correlate
directly with the density of the fusion mass [71].
Given the impact of vitamin D on spine
fusion and the prevalence of deficiency, it is the
authors’ recommendation that preoperative
testing of serum vitamin D levels should be
routine. Thresholds for vitamin D levels which
are well established in the literature (Table 35.3)
[61, 72] should be used to institute treatment.
Patients deficient in vitamin D are typically
prescribed 50,000 IU of oral vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) per week for 8 weeks followed by
maintenance therapy of 1500–2000 IU/day
61]. Furthermore, the relatively brief treatment
[
duration often allows completion before surgery and provides for high patient compliance
[73]. Given the high prevalence of vitamin D
deficiency and low risk of treatment, it is also
acceptable to consider supplementation with
2000 IU/day of oral vitamin D3.

Cigarette Smoking
The impact of tobacco smoke on human health
remains a critical problem facing the orthopedic
surgeon worldwide. Cigarette smoke has a wellestablished role in the pathogenesis of numerous
smoking-related disorders including chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cancer,
and atherosclerosis [74, 75]. More recently recognized, smoking also exacerbates musculoskeletal disease and presents serious challenges in the
treatment of orthopedic conditions [76]. In addition to promoting osteoporosis, degenerative disk
disease, and surgical site infections, smoking
impedes osseointegration and bony union – deleterious effects associated with higher rates of
revision procedures [
smoking has been shown to have a negative
impact on outcomes with a lumbar pseudarthrosis rate nearly double that of nonsmokers (26.5%
vs. 14.2%) [
80].
Defining a single mechanism by which cigarette smoke impedes bone healing is challenging,
as cigarette smoke contains upward of 4000 distinct chemical components. However, several
mechanisms are postulated to be involved.
Carbon monoxide present in the smoke displaces
oxygen from hemoglobin, significantly diminishing the capacity for blood to carry vital oxygen to
proliferating osteoblasts at the site of bone healing or growth [81]. Nicotine, a potent antiinflammatory and immunosuppressive substance,
has been shown to have deleterious effects on
77–79]. In spine surgery,

fibroblasts, red blood cells, and macrophages
[82–84], in addition to diminishing blood flow to
tissues by promoting vasoconstriction [
84, 85].
Numerous other studies have proposed that reactive oxygen species and other pro-inflammatory
constituents are responsible for the dysregulation
of bone homeostasis, reduction in bone mineral
density, and inhibition of fracture healing
[
86–88].
More recent research has identified dioxin, a
potent carcinogenic by-product of combustion,
as playing a major role in the inhibition of osteogenesis [43]. In vitro and in vivo work has shown
that dioxin has toxic effects on bone, adversely
affecting bone growth and remodeling, matrix
composition, mechanical strength, and osteoblast
differentiation [89]. These effects occur independent of nicotine and have a dramatically larger
impact. Although the exact mechanism of osteoblastic inhibition from smoking remains somewhat unclear, many surgeons currently associate
nicotine with the negative impact of smoking on
bone healing. The association of dioxin and the
AhR pathway with bone healing inhibition from
cigarettes offers a promising new approach to the
mitigation of these effects.
With the negative effects of smoking so well
established, spine surgeons must consider their
options when treating patients who smoke. All
patients have both modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors that can impact patient outcomes after spine procedures. Therefore, it is
critical that modifiable risk factors, like smoking, are minimized before taking a patient to
surgery. Many have advocated for smoking cessation programs before elective procedures [80,
90]. These programs have demonstrated that an
active smoking intervention program started
6–8 weeks before surgery can halve the frequency of postoperative complications, with the
greatest effect on wound-related and cardiovascular complications [
90]. Furthermore, given
the emerging evidence that nicotine may not be
the primary culprit behind inhibition of bone
healing [43], surgeons should consider nicotine
replacement therapy as method for increasing
patient compliance with cessation programs.
Given the deleterious consequences of smoking
and the large impact of cessation, preoperative
counseling and enrollment in cessation programs are an essential aspect of preoperative
patient care.
Bisphosphonates and Teriparatide
With an overall low bone mass prevalence of
43.9%, there are an estimated 43.4 million
adults in the United States at increased risk for
fracture. In 2008, 15.8% of women over the age
of 55 were prescribed bisphosphonates to
increase their bone mineral density and reduce
their risk for fracture [91]. More recently, many
patients have been prescribed anabolic agents
such as teriparatide. However, due to the cost of
anabolic agents, most physicians still recommend anti- catabolic drugs as the first-line treatment for osteoporosis. Bisphosphonates inhibit
osteoclastic bone resorption, preventing bone
loss and improving bone strength [92, 93].
However, the effect of bisphosphonates on bone
healing remains controversial. As previously
discussed, osteoclasts are essential for remodeling during the transformation from immature
callus into mature bone. The impact on remodeling causes adverse effects such as atypical
femur fractures and osteonecrosis [94]. While
the association with abnormal remodeling is
well defined, the overall effect of bisphosphonates on bone healing is less clear. A recent
meta-analysis of eight randomized control trials
revealed that bisphosphonates do not cause a
clinically detectable delay to bone healing
regardless of the timing of bisphosphonate
delivery [95].
Teriparatide, a recombinant PTH analog, has
been utilized since 2002 to increase bone mineral
density in postmenopausal women suffering from
osteoporosis. Unlike bisphosphonates, teriparatide is an anabolic agent that has the ability to
stimulate new bone formation. There has been
abundant evidence from animal studies that indicate teriparatide can improve fracture healing
[96, 97]. Significant improvements in callus volume, callus mineralization, bone mineral content,
strength, and rate of successful union at the frac-

35 Basic Science of Bone Fusion
479
ture site have been demonstrated [98]. However,
studies in humans have been relatively limited,
and further research is needed to delineate the
impact of anabolic agents on bone healing in
humans. Currently, teriparatide is being used “off
label” for the management of fractures and nonunions, as well as perioperative optimization of
surgical patients.
Electrical Stimulation
The role for electrical stimulation in bone healing
has been somewhat controversial. Basic science
research suggests that pulsed electromagnetic
field (PEMF) therapy likely enhances bone healing through stimulation of the calciumcalmodulin pathway secondary to the
upregulation of bone morphogenetic proteins,
transforming growth factor-β, and other cytokines [99, 100]. A recent meta-analysis of 15 trials, performed in 2016, indicated that that
electrical stimulation reduced the relative risk for
radiographic nonunion or persistent nonunion by
35% and the absolute risk by 15% [101]. Four
trials found that stimulation produced a significant improvement in patient-reported pain scores
[101]. However, functional outcome data are limited and further randomized controlled trials are
needed.
Clinical Case
History
A 59-year-old male with grade I degenerative
spondylolisthesis and severe spinal stenosis at
L4–L5 causing neurogenic claudication, low
back pain, and buttock pain. The patient previously failed conservative management for 2 years
at which point he underwent open decompression
and posterolateral spinal fusion at L4–L5. He
was subsequently pain-free for 1 year and then
developed recurrent back pain without neurologic symptoms. Standing exacerbates his symptoms; sitting or leaning forward temporarily
relieves pain. The patient has a past medical his-
tory significant for hypertension. Of note, he is a
current smoker with a 40 pack-year history. A
complete workup was performed, including postoperative lumbar CT.
Examination
Physical examination demonstrated a positive
straight-leg raising on the right at 30 degrees. The
remainder of the examination was normal.
Pretreatment Images
MRI of the lumbar spine demonstrated recurrent
degenerative spondylolisthesis (Fig. 35.2). CT
scan of the lumbar spine demonstrated screw
loosening at L4–L5 and lumbar pseudarthrosis
(Fig. 35.3).
Diagnosis
L4–L5 pseudarthrosis.
Treatment
The patient was informed of the risk factors for
pseudarthrosis, including smoking, malnutrition,
and vitamin D deficiency. The patient elected to
participate in a 6-week smoking cessation program and utilized nicotine patches during the
perioperative period. The patient was subsequently revised with a lateral interbody fusion
with Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) cage at the
L4–L5 level (Fig.
and 5 cc of Mastergraft were utilized to promote
successful arthrodesis.

Outcome
The patient had radiographic evidence of fusion
on CT at 6 months. No clinical signs or symptoms of pseudarthrosis. Patient denied continued
low back pain.

Conclusion
While the basic science of bone healing is complex, it is important that spine surgeons have a
thorough understanding of how bone healing
principles apply to their fusion patients. Bone
healing requires five major components: a sufficient population of osteogenic cells, an osteoconductive matrix, osteoinductive signals, a
local blood supply, and desirable biomechanical
forces. Deficiency of any one component can
lead to pseudarthrosis. With that knowledge, it is
imperative that spine surgeons optimize their
patients preoperatively by evaluating for and
correcting nutritional and vitamin D deficiency,
osteoporosis, and tobacco use. Surgeons must
understand the importance of stress, strain, and
osteogenesis to optimize their biomechanical
constructs and graft choice intraoperatively.
Finally, surgeons should understand the biologic
mechanism, clinical role, and efficacy of adjunct
therapies, such as pulsed electromagnetic field
therapy and bisphosphonates, on bone healing.
