Radiographic Analysis of Fusion Mass Using Fresh Autologous Bone Marrow With Ceramic Composites as an Alternative to Autologous Bone Graft

Abstract

The differences detected between right-side and left-side masses are not statistically significant. This indicates that, BMA and BCP, when mixed, behave like composite grafts and are able to generate sufficient bone mass for arthrodesis when a rigid instrumentation is used. However, a larger number of cases and longer follow-up are needed to generalize the indication.
