However, the impact of BMP on reoperation rates and postoperative complication rate is controversial.We queried the MarketScan database to identify patients who underwent ACD surgery from 2007-2015. Patients were stratified by BMP use in the index operation. Patients under 18 and those with any history of tumor or trauma were excluded.
