Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

The use of autogenous bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) may offer a nonsurgical treatment of lumbar degenerative disc disease. It can also be used to enhance the cervical spine fusion. This chapter focuses on: the feasibility for using BMAC in spine surgery, host factors that may affect the outcome, the local morbidity of aspiration, and outcome after application of BMAC.
