Is a barrier really necessary to prevent radiculitis when using recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 in proximity of nerve roots?

The barrier is helpful in transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion surgery to prevent radiculitis when using rhBMP-2 which can lead to this complication. The question is how to explain that some other authors, who did not use any barrier, reported no radiculitis in their patients.
