Intramedullary application of bone morphogenetic protein in the management of a major bone defect after an Ilizarov procedure.
J Bone Joint Surg Br. 2008 Jun;90(6):806-9
Authors: Burkhart KJ, Rommens PM
We describe a patient with insufficient bone regeneration of the tibia after bone transport over an intramedullary nail, in whom union was ultimately achieved after exchange nailing and intramedullary application of rh-bone morphogenetic protein-7 at the site of distraction.
