Significance of Early CT Evaluation after Lumbar Interbody Fusions Using Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2

Williams et al[1][1] proposed a radiographic protocol consisting of CT scans obtained at 3, 6, and 12 months, with an additional scanning at 24 months if a solid fusion was not seen earlier in evaluating lumbar interbody fusions (LIF) (with special emphasis on using the recombinant human bone
