Orthobiologic Techniques for Surgical Augmentation.

Orthobiologic Techniques for Surgical Augmentation. Physical medicine and rehabilitation clinics of North America Lin, K. M., Frey, C. S., Atzmon, R., Pierre, K., Vel, M. S., Sherman, S. L. 2023; 34 (1): 265-274

Abstract

General awareness and clinical utilization of orthobiologic therapy has increased sharply in the recent years. Orthobiologics can be defined as "biological materials and substrates that promote bone, ligament, muscle, and tendon healing." There are 3 major strategies by which orthobiologics are thought to augment tissue repair or native biologic potential: factor-based, cell-based, and biomechanical augmentation. The purpose of this review is to synthesize the recent literature on orthobiologic techniques for surgical augmentation, with focus on several key areas including meniscus repair, osteochondral grafting, and rotator cuff repair.
