Study Summary

The purpose of our study is to evaluate the use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (RhBMP-2) as compared to standard ICBG in the treatment of severe open tibia fractures with a critical size bone defect (at least one centimeter in length compromising at least 50% of the circumference of the bone).

Primary Outcome

Union will be defined by: 1\. Radiographic union as defined by the Radiographic union scale in tibia fractures (RUST) score, Radiographic evaluation will be assessed by blinded orthopaedic surgeons.

Interventions

  • DEVICE recombinant bone morphogenetic protein 2
  • PROCEDURE Autogenous iliac crest bone graft
