    BMP-2 augmentation during revision total hip arthroplasty improved radiographic bone consolidation in patients with severe acetabular defects.

  • 2

    In a study of 15 patients, 83% of hips showed over 50% bone consolidation at final follow-up after BMP-2 treatment.

  • 3

    Implant survivorship rates were 90% at 6 years and 70% at 10 years, indicating favorable long-term outcomes.

  • 4

    Postoperative complications occurred in 28% of hips, with infection and dislocation being the most common issues.

  • 5

    The study's limitations include its retrospective design, small sample size, and lack of preoperative patient-reported outcomes.

Lower BMI, Lower Joint Replacement Risk?

Researchers urge caution in interpreting joint replacement predictors, noting that surgery reflects access and decision-making as well as disease biology.

In a UK cohort, patients with osteoarthritis who initiated centrally acting analgesics had a higher hazard of knee or hip replacement than those who initiated SSRIs, though residual confounding by pain severity remains a key limitation.
