Neurosurgery and quantum dots: part I--state of the art.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) is used in tens of thousands of spinal fusions each year. A trial evaluating a high-dose BMP formulation demonstrated that its use may be associated with an increased risk of cancer. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate whether BMP, as commonly used today, is associated with an increased r...
