VIDEO: How to integrate orthobiologics into the office and OR

In this video from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Orthobiologics Symposium, Kenneth R. Zaslav, MD, FAAOS, offered advice on how to integrate the use of orthobiologic injections safely and efficiently into practices.

“A comprehensive discussion within the institution or medical group is important for both logistics and fair billing collection practices, good practice of sterility and safety protocols, and OSHA guidelines within the procedure room,” Zaslav said. “As these treatments are investigational and on the cutting-edge of medical science, true informed consent is essential with shared decision-making with the patient,” he added.
