Bone Morphogenetic Protein
In San Jose, CA

Bone morphogenic protein is a protein that triggers specific cells in the body to create new cartilage and bone. During surgery, the BMP is applied to a collagen sponge, which eventually dissolves as the protein stimulates bone growth. This eliminates the need to harvest bone from the patient's hip, reducing donor site pain and complications. Dr. Khayat is available to discuss grafting options during your consultation.
