    Medtronic (NYS: MDT) announced Wednesday that it is offering a $2.5 million grant to Yale researchers who will independently review the safety of the company's controversial Infuse bone graft product.

  3. Medtronic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medtronic

    Medtronic operational headquarters in Fridley, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis. Medtronic was founded in 1949 in Minneapolis by Earl Bakken and his brother-in-law, Palmer Hermundslie, as a medical equipment repair shop. [8] Bakken invented several medical technology devices that continue to be used around the world today. [citation needed]

  4. Bone grafting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_grafting

    Bone graft procedures consist of more than just the surgery itself. The complete three-month total cost of a complex posterolateral lumbar spine fusion bone graft supplemented with graft extenders ranges from a mean of approximately US$33,860 to US$37,227. [33] This price includes all visits in and out of the hospital for three months.

  5. Bone morphogenetic protein 2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_morphogenetic_protein_2

    The use of dual tapered threaded fusion cages and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 on an absorbable collagen sponge obtained and maintained intervertebral spinal fusion, improved clinical outcomes, and reduced pain after anterior lumbar interbody arthrodesis in patients with degenerative lumbar disc disease. [18]

  6. Bone morphogenetic protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_morphogenetic_protein

    Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a group of growth factors also known as cytokines and as metabologens. [1] Professor Marshall Urist and Professor Hari Reddi discovered their ability to induce the formation of bone and cartilage, BMPs are now considered to constitute a group of pivotal morphogenetic signals, orchestrating tissue architecture throughout the body.

  7. Autotransplantation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autotransplantation

    In orthopaedic medicine, a bone graft can be sourced from a patient's own bone in order to fill space and produce an osteogenic response in a bone defect. However, due to the donor-site morbidity associated with autograft, other methods such as bone allograft and bone morphogenetic proteins and synthetic graft materials are often used as alternatives.

  8. Arthrodesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthrodesis

    Bone autograft is generally preferred by surgeons because, as well as eliminating the risks associated with allografts, bone autograft contains native bone-forming cells (osteoblasts), so the graft itself forms new bone (osteoinductive), as well as acting as a matrix or scaffold to new bone growing from the bones being bridged (osteoconductive ...

  9. Artificial ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_ligament

    Synthetic ACL grafts always develop creep, fatigue and failure so the demand for synthetic grafts with sufficient supply, satisfactory mechanical properties, and low morbidity rate is essentially high. [5] Currently, the LARS ligament is the most comparable to both autografts and other synthetic grafts. [5]
