Core Tip	The use of recombinant human bone morpho­genetic protein-2 is widely used in spine surgery not only in approved indications but also in off-label indi­cations. Despite its ability to promote fusion there are many reported disadvantages. That’s why the Yale University Open Data project aims to serve both the patients but also the companies which fund the vast majority of research in medical products.
