SORIA-SANCHEZ, CR; LOPEZ-DURAN, A y ISUNZA-RAMIREZ, A. Utility of morphogenetic protein for the treatment of congenital pseudoarthrosis of the tibia. Acta ortop. mex [online]. 2015, vol.29, n.3, pp.182-185. ISSN 2306-4102.
Objective: To report the ability of bone morphogenetic protein to achieve bone healing in patients with congenital pseudoarthrosis of the tibia. Patients and methods: Three patients with a diagnosis of congenital pseudoarthrosis of the tibia were followed-up for six months. Bone healing and functional capacity of the limb were observed. Results: Bone healing occurred in all cases at a mean of three and half months of treatment. Conclusions: Morphogenetic protein is useful as an adjuvant to achieve bone regeneration and healing in patients with congenital pseudoarthrosis of the tibia.
