Potential complications related to ectopic bone formation, as seen with transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion, have always been a concern with the use of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs). Although less clearly anticipated, complications related to the proinflammatory effects of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2), such as swelling and edema in the cervical spine, have been...
