Education and Understanding Orthobiologics: Then and Now

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bio-orthopaedics

Abstract

Over the past 10 years, the field of Orthobiologics has grown rapidly and started to establish a foundation as a potentially safe and efficacious alternative for a variety of musculoskeletal injuries, including joint disorders such as osteoarthritis and chronic tendinopathy. With life expectancy on the rise, and an aging population of baby boomers, the demand for viable minimally invasive options is at an all-time high. The increased demand has led to scores of physicians attempting to integrate regenerative options into their practices. However, as the exponential growth of orthobiologics continues to skyrocket, coordinated research efforts haven’t been able to match the same trajectory, resulting in a paucity of high level of evidence studies. As the volume of physicians utilizing orthobiologics continues to rise, we have a duty as innovators in the field to strive for cohesiveness and standardization to provide the highest level of safety and therapeutic efficacy for patients. In order to satisfy this responsibility and progress the field of orthobiologics, it is important to establish a common definition and understanding of current orthobiologic options, as well as improve access to continuing education and facilitate research collaboration throughout the global medical community.
