From Platelet-Rich Plasma to Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Cartilage, Tendon, and Bone Regeneration With Orthobiologics.
The use of orthobiologics such as platelet-rich plasma, bone marrow aspirate, and stem cells has been proposed as a biologic augmentation for treatment of various conditions of cartilage, tendon, and bone. Although the published evidence is not conclusive, the safety of these treatments and benefits in improving the biologic condition of treated tissues have been confirmed. Osteoarthritis, rotator cuff injuries, and osteonecrosis of the femoral head are three common musculoskeletal conditions associated with the use of orthobiologics in patients with cartilage, tendon, and bone injuries. When reviewing the use of platelet-rich plasma, bone marrow aspirate, and mesenchymal stem cells in patients with these conditions, there is evidence of high safety and positive, but variable, efficacy. Recent studies have shown promising results and have paved the way for research being conducted at many specialized centers around the world.
