  • Stem Cells, Exosomes, Peptides, & Orthobiologics: A Masterclass with Dr. Chuck Peterson & Dr. Cameron Davis
    Sep 9 2024

    Orthobiologics fill the gap between conservative treatments and surgery in sports medicine.

    Understanding the difference between inflammation and degeneration is crucial in determining the appropriate use of orthobiologics.

    Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), stem cells, and microvascular tubules are some of the orthobiologics used in sports medicine.

    Stem cell injections have variability and potential risks, especially when seeking treatment abroad.

    Orthobiologics can help slow down the degenerative process in musculoskeletal injuries. Understanding the difference between curative processes and treatments is important in orthobiologics.

    Patient selection and setting realistic expectations are crucial in orthobiologic treatments.

    Individualized treatment plans should consider factors such as cost, efficacy, and the specific injury or condition being treated.

    Future advancements in orthobiologics may include regenerating cartilage and creating bioidentical knees.
