In this video from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Orthobiologics Symposium, Scott A. Rodeo, MD, FAAOS, spoke on the potential of cell and blood-based orthobiologics injectables for patients with osteoarthritis.
“This area has tremendous potential — a lot of promise — but currently needs further development. We need further basic and clinical research,” Rodeo said. “I think we need to recognize that, frankly, there has been a lot of indiscriminate use of unproven therapies — that gets back to the aggressive marketing — but it’s an area that really has great potential, and it’s on us to collect the relevant clinical and laboratory data to really bring this to fruition for our patients.”
