Is INFUSE Bone Graft Superior to Autograft Bone? An Integrated Analysis of Clinical Trials Using the LT-CAGE Lumbar Tapered Fusion Device
Abstract
Multicenter human clinical studies of patients undergoing anterior lumbar fusion have been conducted using recombinant bone morphogenetic protein or rhBMP-2 on an absorbable collagen sponge, marketed as INFUSE Bone Graft, or autograft implanted in the LT-CAGE Lumbar Tapered Fusion device. An integrated analysis of multiple clinical studies was performed using an analysis of covariance to adjust for preoperative variables in a total of 679 patients. Of these patients, 277 had their cages implanted with rhBMP-2 on an absorbable collagen sponge and 402 received autograft transferred from the iliac crest. The patients treated with rhBMP-2 had statistically superior outcomes with regard to length of surgery, blood loss, hospital stay, reoperation rate, median time to return to work, and fusion rates at 6, 12, and 24 months. Oswestry Disability Index scores and the Physical Component Scores and Pain Index of the SF-36 scale at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months showed statistically superior outcomes in the rhBMP-2 group.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
