Orthobiologics
Orthobiologics are natural substances that can be used to treat orthopedic conditions, such as arthritis, tendonitis, ligament tears, and bone fractures.
These treatments are used in varying ways, such as:
- Surgery: Orthobiologics can be used during surgery by extracting from the patient’s bone marrow or blood and applying during surgery, filling in bone defects and supporting healing after surgery.
- Injections: Orthobiologics can also be directly injected into an affected area during a minimally invasive procedure that can easily be done in a clinic or doctor’s office.
Advantages of Orthobiologics
Orthobiologics presents several benefits compared to traditional orthopedic treatments like medication and surgery. Some benefits include:
- Minimally invasive: Orthobiologic treatments are often minimally invasive, resulting in reduced downtime and lower risk of complications.
- Natural: Orthobiologics are natural substances that are derived from the patient’s own body. This decreases the likelihood of side effects and allergic reactions.
- Effective: Orthobiologics are shown to be effective in treating a variety of orthopedic conditions.
