Dr. Bert Mandelbaum discusses the evolving use of orthobiologic injections in sports medicine, emphasizing evidence-based practice and FDA guidelines. He reviews treatments for patellar tendinopathy, MCL injuries, ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair, and osteoarthritis. PRP shows promise in many areas, especially combined with hyaluronic acid for cartilage repair, while stem cells and BMAC require more evidence. Emerging therapies like exosomes, amniotic fluid, estrogen modulation, and WNT inhibitors are promising but need further trials.
