    摘要: Methods for facilitating access to the intervertebral disc to deliver materials for disc repair are disclosed. The methods may be used to replace or augment nucleus pulposus as well as to perform interbody fusion procedures. These methods include providing access to the intervertebral disc space by drilling a channel through a vertebral bone, optionally accessing the intervertebral disc space to at least partially remove the disc tissue through the channel in the vertebrae; delivering a disc repairing material to the intervertebral disc space and back-filling the channel in the vertebrae with a channel sealing material. The methods may further comprise distracting the intervertebral height and inserting a restrictor into the channel in the vertebrae. Kits for practicing these methods are also disclosed.

    摘要: A carrier matrix may be delivered to a target position within a patient in a minimally invasive manner by first cutting a collagen sponge sheet into a plurality of relatively small pieces. These pieces are sized so that, when wet, they are capable of flowing through a cannula and/or reduced-diameter syringe tip. The pieces are placed into a syringe and wetted, say with a morphogenic solution, and optionally mixed with a bulking material, which is similarly sized to fit through the cannula. The thoroughly mixed and wetted product forms a viscous aggregate which may then be injected into the patient at the target site.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to isolated nucleic acid molecules that encode LIM mineralization protein, or LMP. The invention further provides vectors comprising nucleotide sequences that encode LMP, as well as host cells comprising those vectors. Moreover, the present invention relates to methods of inducing bone formation by transfecting osteogenic precursor cells with an isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding LIM mineralization protein. The transfection may occur ex vivo or in vivo by direct injection of virus or naked plasmid DNA. In a particular embodiment, the invention provides a method of fusing a spine by transfecting osteogenic precursor cells with an isolated nucleic acid molecule having a nucleotide sequence encoding LIM mineralization protein, admixing the transfected osteogenic precursor cells with a matrix and contacting the matrix with the spine. Finally, the invention relates to methods for inducing systemic bone formation by stable transfection of host cells with the vectors of the invention.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and carriers for percutaneous delivery of growth factors to treat osteonecrosis in the hip and other locations are disclosed. A rolled carrier comprising a biphasic ceramic rolled by a collagen sponge, and carrying a growth factor, are inserted via a delivery tube or cannula into a pre-formed hole in bone without overstuffing of the carrier or growth factor.
