2023 Annual Meeting Biologics-Discussion

Video Transcription

Video Summary

During a Q&A session, experts discussed treatment options for patients over 50 with subchondral bone marrow lesions. Subchondroplasty may be viable for lower-grade lesions, but arthroplasty is preferred for grade 4 due to higher failure risks. PRP pricing studies focused on top orthopedic centers to reflect mainstream care. Mincing cartilage implantation is emerging for surface lesions, especially in the patella of older patients. Subchondroplasty might serve as a bridge to knee replacement, offering a chance to preserve the native knee in some middle-aged patients. The session concluded with meeting announcements and networking events.
