Orthobiologic techniques can be used in the treatment of a variety of sports medicine pathologies, using an evidence-based approach focused on the value of all available approaches. The orthopaedic surgeon should be aware of the indications for and any technical pearls and pitfalls related to the use of orthobiologic agents as treatment for, or as an adjunct to management of, common sports medicine injuries and pathologies. Expected outcomes, including return to sport/activity, as well as potential complications and how to avoid them, should be considered. Although promising results have been reported, significant lack of high-level studies, inconsistent findings, and variability among current research make it challenging to reach a definitive conclusion about application, target populations, and overall effectiveness. |
