Macroporous calcium phosphate ceramic: a prospective study of 106 cases in lumbar spinal fusion.

摘要: Macroporous biphasic calcium phosphate (MBCP, Triosite) is well known for its safety, absence of allergenicity, and excellent bone-bonding capacity, it has been widely used as a bone graft substitute in orthopaedic, ENT, dental surgery. This study investigates the clinical performance this synthetic porous ceramic series 106 patients, mainly with degenerative spine aetiologies (95/106) minimum follow-up 2 years. All patients were treated posterior correction involving semi-rigid New Orleans instrumentation. Spinal fusion was always performed using MBCP granules mixed autogenous chips marrow obtained from local spine. Fusion confirmed 100 6 non-unions observed (3 resulting primary spondylolisthesis). shows that provides suitable results spinal Because indication not very favorable to fusion, technique appears be good alternative autografts could decrease patient morbidity iliac grafting.
