110. Use of a novel allograft in single-level posterolateral lumbar spine fusion surgery: 1-year clinical and radiographic results from a prospective multicenter study with comparison to reported results for ICBG

Instrumented posterolateral lumbar fusion (PLF) surgery is commonly used to alleviate pain and other symptoms associated with degenerative conditions of the lumbosacral spine. Although autologous iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) remains the “gold standard” grafting material for these procedures, surgeons have sought alternatives to avoid the potential morbidity associated with ICBG harvest. OSTEOAMP is a novel allograft bone graft substitute (BGS) that has been processed to retain multiple endogenous growth factors.
