Best Practice Case Studies-Introduction to Orthobiologic Therapies

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In a lecture by Dr. Shane Shapiro on orthobiologics, the focus was on novel therapies aimed at enhancing healing in orthopedic conditions like osteoarthritis and tendinopathy. Dr. Shapiro emphasized the field's emergence as regenerative medicine aiming to utilize the body's mechanisms for disease treatment. Current orthobiologics include platelet-rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), and microfragmented adipose tissue (MFAT), with PRP already demonstrating efficacy in various studies. However, challenges remain due to variability in preparation methods and a lack of consensus on therapeutic doses. The discussion highlighted potential risks from unverified stem cell treatments and emphasized the importance of informed consent and patient education. The lecture concluded by outlining AMSSM's commitment to responsible translation of regenerative therapies and underscoring the ongoing need for research to standardize and validate these treatments further. Dr. Shapiro provided insights into post-procedure protocols and the importance of individualized patient treatment plans.
