Technical Aspects on the Use of Ultrasonic Bone Shaver in Spine Surgery: Experience in 307 Patients.

ABSTRACT: Aim. We discuss technical points, the safety, and efficacy of ultrasonic bone shaver in various spinal surgeries within our own series. Methods. Between June 2010 and January 2014, 307 patients with various spinal diseases were operated on with the use of an ultrasonic bone curette with microhook shaver (UBShaver). Patients' data were recorded and analyzed retrospectively. The technique for the use of the device is described for each spine surgery procedure. Results. Among the 307 patients, 33 (10.7%) cases had cervical disorder, 17 (5.5%) thoracic disorder, 3 (0.9%) foramen magnum disorder, and 254 (82.7%) lumbar disorders. Various surgical techniques were performed either assisted or alone by UBShaver. The duration of the operations and the need for blood replacement were relatively low. The one-year follow-up with Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores were improved. We had 5 cases of dural tears (1.6%) in patients with lumbar spinal disease. No neurological deficit was found in any patients. Conclusion. We recommend this device as an assistant tool in various spine surgeries and as a primary tool in foraminotomies. It is a safe device in spine surgery with very low complication rate.

Project description:Background and objectiveRecombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) has been extensively studied in preclinical, animal, and human studies and has been used widely in spine fusion surgery. Evidence demonstrates that fusion rates with rhBMP-2 are similar to or higher than those achieved with autologous bone graft. However, there have been concerns regarding the cost, optimal dosage, and potential complications of rhBMP-2 use in spine surgery. The objective of this paper is to provide a current review of the available evidence regarding rhBMP-2 and other bone graft substitutes used for spinal surgery.MethodsWe searched Ovid Medline, PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, American College of Physicians Journal Club, and Database of Abstracts of Review of Effectiveness for 2 studies regarding physiology of bone fusion in spine surgery, formulations and indications of rhBMP-2, cancer risk of rhBMP-2, and alternatives to rhBMP-2 published from 1965 to 2022 in English.Key content and findingsThe debate regarding indications and cost effectiveness of rhBMP-2 is presented based on increasing data and use criteria. Here, we focus on the effectiveness and economic costs (both direct and indirect) of rhBMP-2 and alternative bone graft substitutes. Based on the cumulative literature, we provide recommendations for rhBMP-2 use in spine surgery.ConclusionsBased on our review of the literature, we recommend the following: (I) clear informed consent processes between surgeons and patients regarding current evidence of the benefits and risks of using rhBMP-2 and available alternative bone graft substitutes. (II) Consideration of rhBMP-2 for spinal fusion surgery (excluding anterior cervical procedures), especially adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery, lumbar surgery for multilevel degenerative disease, revision surgery for pseudoarthrosis, and surgery in patients with a low-quantity or low-quality autograft. (III) Regulatory oversight of the type, volume, and dose of bone graft substitute (both per level and per procedure) to ensure appropriate indications, prevent excessive usage, and thereby enhance cost containment.
