Autologous bone graft harvested from remote locations has been used to fuse the human spine for the treatment of disease, degeneration, or injury for over a century1. For the latter half of the twentieth century, autologous bone harvested from the iliac crest was the “gold standard” bone graft used for spinal fusion. Donor-site morbidity, particularly pain lasting more than a year, has been reported in >30% of patients who have undergone spinal fusion with autologous iliac crest bone graft (ICBG)2. This morbidity led many investigators to search for alternatives to ICBG. Research began to focus on recombinant forms of a variety of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) as a potential bone-graft substitute. BMPs, discovered by Marshall Urist in the early 1960s3, are a subclass of a somewhat inhomogeneous group of proteins known as cytokines that have cell signaling as a common feature. BMPs were found to be osteoinductive; that is, they induce osteoblastic activity in the formation of bone. BMPs, in their natural form, are very difficult to generate in quantity. Recombinant forms that could be produced in quantity were developed, but manufacturing them was expensive and required substantial investment by industry. This investment appeared to show fruit as animal studies demonstrated efficacy of BMPs as a bone-graft substitute. These studies were followed by human clinical trials, in which two classes of BMPs (recombinant human [rh] BMP-7 and rhBMP-2) demonstrated non-inferiority compared with ICBG for achieving spinal …
