Article Synopsis
- The study explores using autologous growth factors, obtained from platelets, to enhance healing in a posterolateral fusion model in aged sheep using a coral bone graft.
- Results showed that after 6 months, adding these growth factors to a specific bone graft resulted in improved bending stiffness of the fusion but did not affect the ultimate load.
- The findings suggest that concentrating growth factors from platelets can effectively support spinal fusion by providing multiple beneficial factors at the healing site.
