Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression and Removal of Symptomatic Heterotopic Bone Formation After Spinal Fusion with Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2.
We present a case of symptomatic heterotopic bone formation following revision of posterolateral lumbar fusion/instrumentation and "off-label" use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2, treated successfully with the use of a minimally invasive tubular approach.
