A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Posterolateral Lumbar Fusion With and Without Bone Marrow Concentrate Augmentation in Single-Level Lumbar Spondylolisthesis.

Conclusion: Bone marrow concentrate augmentation in this small randomized controlled trial failed to demonstrate positive effects on autologous local bone graft in posterolateral lumbar fusion relative to both quality and quantity. The high percentage of incomplete bridging should also be noted and further investigated. PMID: 29952189 [PubMed - in process]
