Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the clinical outcomes, fusion rates, and complications of lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) in Australia, focusing on the effects of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) compared to other graft materials.
- It involved a retrospective analysis of 343 patients operated on between 2011 and 2021, with significant improvements observed in patient-reported outcomes and a total complication rate of 15%.
- Results showed that rhBMP-2 led to higher fusion rates at both 6 and 12 months, suggesting its superiority over non-rhBMP-2 grafts without increasing complication rates.
