Orthopaedic Musculoskeletal Biologics Research Impacts Patient Care: The First Annual Arthroscopy Orthobiologics Virtual Special Issue

Arthroscopy. 2023 May;39(5):1117-1118. doi: 10.1016/j.arthro.2022.11.042.

Abstract

Orthobiologics can modify symptoms and improve healing in a variety of musculoskeletal conditions as a part of office-based care or as an adjunct to surgery. Orthobiologics harness the benefits of naturally derived blood components, autologous tissue, and growth factors to reduce inflammation and optimize the host-healing environment. The Arthroscopy family of journals seeks to positively influence evidence-based clinical decision-making by publishing peer-reviewed biologics research. This special issue contains recent influential articles strategically chosen to positively impact patient care.
