Article

Tendon and ligament injuries and degenerative conditions of these soft tissues
have poor healing potential and healing is often incomplete. Biocellular and
orthobiologic approaches including PRP and stem cell therapies are reviewed.
A review of some of the regenerative medicine science and difficulties facing
physicians exploring these methods is presented.
A series of cases are reviewed
demonstrating the application of these principles. Clinical experience with many
of these biocellular interventions is outpacing validation in basic science studies. Clinical experience dictates the need for repeated clinical and imaging
evaluation and the need for repeated intervention or change in strategies when needed.
