AP and lateral microCT images demonstrating the volume of new bone formed in response to rhBMP-2 dose. To the right of each set of microCT images was a cross sectional image of the spine taken at its widest point in the transverse plane. An increase in the size of the fusion mass was observed with increasing rhBMP-2 dose. It was noted that at a dose of 0.5 μg sufficient bone was formed to bridge the L4-L6 vertebrae resulting in successful fusion.
