Clinical Trial for the Safety and Feasibility of Pedicle Screws Coated with a Fibroblast Growth Factor-2-Apatite Composite Layer for Posterior Cervical Fusion Surgery

To solve the instrument loosening problem, we developed a fibroblast growth factor-2-calcium phosphate composite layer as a novel coating material to improve screw fixation strength. The primary aim of the present study was to demonstrate the safety and feasibility of screws coated with the FGF-2-ca...
