WHAT OSIGRAFT IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Osigraft is a type of medicine known as a bone morphogenetic protein
(BMP). This group of
medicines cause new bone to grow at the location where the surgeon has
placed (implanted) it.
Osigraft is implanted in adult patients with fractures of the tibia
which have failed to heal for at least 9
month duration in cases where treatment with autograft (transplanted
bone from your hip) has failed or
should not be used.
2.
BEFORE YOU USE OSIGRAFT
DO NOT USE OSIGRAFT

ingredient of Osigraft (see section 6).
-
if you are an adolescent and your skeleton is not yet fully formed

against your own tissues),
including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus,
scleroderma, Sjögren’s syndrome
and dermatomyositis/ polymyositis.
-
if you have active infection at the site of non-union (inflammation
and drainage at the site of
injury) or active systemic infection.
-
if your doctor determines that you have inadequate skin coverage (at
the fracture site) and
inadequate blood supply at your site of surgery.
-
for vertebral (spine) fractures.
-
for treating non-union resulting from pathological (disease-related)
fractures, metabolic bone

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
Osigraft should be used by an appropriately qualified surgeon.
The recommended dose is one single administration in adults. Depending
on the size of the bone
defect, more than one 1 g vial of Osigraft may be required. The
recommended maximum dose should
not exceed 2 vials since efficacy in the treatment on non-unions
requiring higher doses has not been
established.
Paediatric population
Osigraft is contraindicated in children and adolescents (less than 18
years old) and the skeletally
immature (see section 4.3).
Method of administration:
Intraosseous use.
The reconstituted product is administered by direct surgical placement
at the non-union site in contact
with the prepared bone surface. The surrounding soft tissues are then
closed around the implant.
Experience from controlled clinical trials is limited to stabilisation
of the fracture by intramedullary
nailing.
