Biologics in Spine Surgery

Biologics in spine surgery are advanced medical substances derived from natural sources like the patient's own body, donors, or laboratory-made materials. They are used to promote healing by encouraging the growth of new bone or tissue, especially in procedures like spinal fusion. These biologics include bone grafts, growth factors, and stem cells, which help improve the success of surgeries by accelerating recovery and strengthening the spine. Essentially, biologics support the body's natural healing process, making spinal treatments more effective without the need for traditional bone grafts from other parts of the body.
