I have not had to re-operate on any of my patients treated yet (approximately 50-60). I have been using it mostly in kids, and adults with cystic tumors (ABC, NOF,UBC, Fibrous dysplasia, etc). I'm waiting a few more months to get final 2 year post op follow ups on the remaining patients - nothing is published yet.
I haven't had to use it for a non-union. I think anything placed by the bone is more likely to fail without the proper biology.
I'm in agreement with you as to why it might not have worked - no BMA. I think that's why illiac crest tends to work - comes with it's own osteoblasts. I have gone back in on other lesions treated with allograft cancellous chips+DBM+BMP two years later, and it too also came out like it was just put in - not encouraging, as the X-rays looked like it was incorporated.

hello,
I am interested in reading your report on vitoss and BMA. I have had two nonunions recently one in
a pilon fracture and another in a midshaft tibia in which vitoss alone was used. The BMA probably
is the difference in outcome. in the attached picture note in the mid portion a grainy substance.
this is the vitoss in the same consistency as when it was placed 4 months prior. it was easily
curetted out and replaced with iliac crest bone graft. of course this is just two cases and
without BMA. thanks
