Single-center, consecutive series study of the use of a novel platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) and beta-tricalcium phosphate in posterolateral lumbar fusion
European Spine Journal Dec 06, 2018
Callanan TC, et al. - Authors assessed the radiographic and clinical outcomes of the combination of platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) with beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and bone marrow aspirate (BMA) as a graft alternative in posterolateral lumbar fusion procedures. The combination of PRFM with β-TCP and BMA for PLF procedures was analyzed for the first time in this study. While avoiding donor site morbidity related to iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) harvesting such as hematoma, pain, and infection, a rate of fusion similar to those reported using iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) were indicated in the findings.
