Abstract
A minimal access method for mammalian vertebrae interbody fusion without the employment of an interbody device is described which comprises injecting a porous CaPC into an anterior portion of a disc space, and injecting an effective amount of fast-setting non-porous CaPC into an anterior portion of the disc space to rapidly produce a strong and stable interbody fusion without the employment of an interbody device. Methods are further described wherein at least one of the CaPCs comprises an effective amount of at least one osteoinductive protein. A minimal access method for vertebroplasty is described which comprises injecting an effective amount of a viscous non-porous CaPC into a vertebrae fracture channel to provide rapid stabilization and strength, and injecting a porous CaPC into trabecular bone space adjacent to the vertebrae fracture channel. Kits which relate to the methods of the present invention are described as well.
