Regenerative medicine for muscle and ligament problems: Technical aspects and evidence - 20/04/17
Abstract |
Interest in regenerative medicine for treating musculoskeletal pathology has grown tremendously over the past decade. Part of its appeal lies in the ability to use a patient׳s own cells to potentially heal acute and chronic injuries. While evidence grows supporting its use in certain injuries, a perception exists that regenerative medicine may be a panacea. In this article, we review the evidence for platelet-rich plasma and bone marrow aspirate concentrate in treating muscle, ligament, and fibrocartilage injuries. We also offer our own practice experiences and technical considerations in the uses of these techniques.
