Neurosurgical Focus Volume 50: Issue 6 (June 2021)

Biologics and Spinal Fusion

All articles in Neurosurgical Focus are freely available.

Topic Editors: Allan D. Levi, MD, PhD, FAANS; Christopher I. Shaffrey, MD, FAANS; Regis W. Haid, MD, FAANS; Scott D. Boden, MD; Michelle J. Clarke, MD, FAANS; and Marcus D. Mazur, MD

In their introduction to the June issue, the topic editors state:

The current issue of Neurosurgical Focus focuses on the clinical indications, safety, cost, and surgical outcomes of many commonly used spine osteobiologics on the market. Insights are provided on a range of topics, including dosage, cost, and use of bone morphogenetic protein to treat pediatric patients and those with deformity, as well as the use of cellular allograft materials and bone graft substitutes. An excellent review of the impact of medications used to treat osteoporosis in the perioperative fusion period is also presented.
