Brief summary
To assess the feasibility of using rhBMP-2/CPM in OWO as a surgical model for pharmacodynamic studies, with assessment of the following parameters: * Injecting the desired volume of rhBMP-2/CPM within the defect * Conducting longitudinal radiographic absorptiometry of the tibial defect in the presence of rhBMP-2/CPM.

Study design
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Male or female subjects 45 to 70 years of age * Within 96 hours prior to dosing, the subject underwent a successful open wedge tibial osteotomy to correct medial compartment OA of the knee. * Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test (hospital acceptable test), upon hospitalization for OWO and agree to use medically approved contraception for the duration of the study. Other inclusion applies.
Exclusion criteria
* Subjects with pre-existing conditions of the knee or tibia that would confound an interpretation of results. * Subjects for whom surgery in the opposite knee is planned during the 6 months of follow-up. * Subjects with a history of malignancy or radiotherapy or chemotherapy for malignancy within the past 5 years, except subjects with a history of basal skin carcinoma. Other exclusion applies.
