Episode 02 – Principles of Arthrodesis, Graft Biology, and Bone Substitutes

In-depth clinical debate on osteogenesis, osteoinduction, osteoconduction, surgical bed preparation, and pseudarthrosis prevention

Episode Overview & Clinical Debate

In this second episode of the Treatise in Debate, Dr. Marcelo Risso hosts Dr. Raphael Martus Marcon, author of Chapter 9 of the SBC Treatise, to discuss the biological and biomechanical foundations determining spinal arthrodesis success. They explore the bone healing triad (osteogenesis, osteoinduction, osteoconduction), indications and limitations of autografts, allografts, demineralized bone matrix (DBM), bone morphogenetic proteins (rhBMP-2), and synthetic ceramics, emphasizing meticulous surgical bed preparation and pseudarthrosis prevention.

Key Scientific Points Covered

1The biological triad of fusion: osteogenesis, osteoinduction, and osteoconduction.

2Autologous iliac crest vs. local bone graft: when the gold standard is essential.

3Synthetic and biological bone substitutes: DBM, ceramics, and BMAC.

4Judicious use of rhBMP-2: efficacy, dosage, and cervical precautions.

5Meticulous decortication and bed preparation as key factors against pseudarthrosis.
