Parallel Study Between BMP-2 and Autologous Bone Graft After Ilizarow Treatment

October 4, 2017 updated by: Northern Orthopaedic Division, Denmark

Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 Increase as Substitute for Autologous Bone Graft After Ilizarow Treatment for Arthritis and Degenerative Bones.

Results of growth factors indicate that Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMP) have an exceptional ability to stimulate different characteristics of mesenchymale cells to osseous cells. Local application of BMP results in an increase of osseous tissue regardless of the location of the growth factor.

5 years clinical studies show that BMP's can stimulate an increase of osseous tissue and improve clinical results when autologous bone graft is reduced or removed.

The purpose of this study is to examine whether recombinant growth factor BMP-2 can replace autologous bone graft in order to stimulating ossification during transplantation of osseous tissue.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2
Condition of bone healing will be evaluated at serial radiological examinations and by clinical results according to a standard score system.
12 mg recombinant BMP-2 combined with an injection of 1-2 g collagen type 1.
Other Names:
  • No other names.
Autologous bone graft in connection with bone docking operation.
Other Names:
  • No other names.
EXPERIMENTAL: Autologous bone graft
Condition of bone healing will be evaluated at serial radiological examinations after 1,2,3,4,5,6,9 and 12 months. Blood tests and urine samples will also be examined for monitoring the bone healing process.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Visible radiological signs of healing after 6 months.
Time Frame: An expected average of 6 months

Radiological signs of healing is a criteria for a successful result.

Failure of healing after 6 months and/or a need for stimulant bone healing intervention can result in:

  • Dynamic measurement af immobilization
  • Ultrasound stimulation
  • Re-surgery with application of bone graft or bone replacement
An expected average of 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in serologic bone markers
Time Frame: An expected average of 6 months
Blood tests will be analyzed 1,2,3,4,6,9 and 12 months after operation in order to registrating a change in serologic bone markers.
An expected average of 6 months
