Osteogenic protein-1 (OP-1) in the repair of bone defects and fractures of long bones: clinical experience

  • Chapter
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins

Abstract

The concept of osteoinductive or bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) was first introduced by Urist nearly 40 years ago [1], and by the late 1980’s the human cDNA for OP-1 (BMP-7) was cloned [2]. Utilizing recombinant technology, human OP-1 (rhOP-1) was produced and this molecule has demonstrated its capacity to induce bone formation [3, 4]. Subsequently, extensive preclinical and clinical research has confirmed the efficacy as well as safety of OP-1 in the process of bone repair and regeneration [58]. This paper will focus on clinical experience with OP-1 in the treatment of nonunions of the appendicular skeleton.
