Abstract
This article is another review of clinical application of the use of bone morphogenetic proteins, specifically rhBMP2 Infuse Bonegraft, in the treatment of both acute and chronic fracture and fusion situations. Overall experience is reported with particular detail to the use of biologics in the treatment of problems involving the tibia, foot, and ankle.
