Demineralized Bone Definition. Demineralized bone is bone that has had the calcium removed and is used to make bone tissue more conducive to spinal fusion. Bone morphogenic proteins from demineralized bone are added to a polymer or glycerol substrate to form a product that enhances bone growth.
Sometimes decreased bone density (demineralization) can be detected by xray, but bones can appear normal despite loss of 30% of bone mineral. On the other hand, bones in over-exposed films can appear demineralized when they aren't.hysical findings. Patients with decreased bone density usually have no specific abnormal physical findings. Those with vertebral compression fractures will have kyposis, protruding abdomen and height loss. Back tenderness is usually only present after an acute fracture.
