Interest in non-surgical orthobiologic treatments for musculoskeletal conditions such as platelet rich plasma, bone marrow aspirate and microfragmented fat (“stem cells”) is exceedingly high. Although these treatments are being offered at clinics around the country the science behind these procedures is lagging.  Our group aims to 1) Offer an evidence-based assessment of new treatments to patients interested in these procedures  2) Provide these procedures safely to patients who have made the decision to proceed and 3) Systematically study and report clinical outcomes of these procedures. Our hope is to partner with basic scientist and researchers to better understand and improve clinical options for non-surgical orthobiologic treatments for musculoskeletal conditions like osteoarthritis and chronic tendinosis.
