The authors tested the osteoinductive capacity of powdered heterologous (bovine) demineralized bone matrix in rats. The first part of the study concerned a monolateral posterior spinal implant after decortication of three vertebrae, using as a control area the animal's contralateral side, in which neither bone graft nor any other material were placed. In another group of rats, a comparative evaluation was made of powdered heterologous demineralized bone matrix and fresh autologous bone. In the same animal, autologous bone was implanted to realize a thoracic posterior fusion and demineralized bone matrix, to induce a posterior fusion in the lumbar area. All data obtained suggested a good osteoinductive activity of heterologous powdered demineralized bone matrix. The two posterior spinal fusions done in the same animal with heterologous demineralized bone matrix or autologous bone, respectively, had similar callus development and required the same time for formation.
