Bone Morphogenetic Protein in Johns Creek
State-of-the-art biological bone grafting. BMP jump-starts your body's own natural bone-forming cells without harvesting bone from your hip.
How BMP Stimulates Natural Bone Growth
Bone morphogenetic protein is an isolated protein that induces specific cells in our body to form new cartilage and bone. During surgery, the BMP is soaked onto and binds with a collagen sponge. The sponge is then designed to resorb, or disappear, over time.
As the sponge dissolves, the bone morphogenetic protein stimulates the cells to produce new bone. The BMP also goes away once it has completed its task of jump starting the normal bone healing process.
Key Advantages of Bone Morphogenetic Protein
Since there is no need to harvest bone from the patient’s hip for BMP, recipients are spared donor site pain.
Complications and secondary surgical recovery from graft harvest sites are completely eliminated with BMP.
