• Collagen sponges for bone regeneration with rhBMP-2. (2003, background): “It was concluded that lumbar fusion using rhBMP-2 and a tapered titanium fusion cage can yield a solid union and was as effective as the control treatment, while having the benefit of eliminating harvesting iliac crest bone graft [60,83].”
• Lumbar interbody fusion: techniques, indications and comparison of interbody fusion options including PLIF, TLIF, MI-TLIF, OLIF/ATP, LLIF and ALIF. (2015, background): “In theory, ALIF allows re-expansion of the disc space and restoration of lumbar lordosis (17,83,84).”
