Full Description
OrthoBiologics provides state-of-the-art knowledge of current biologic therapies for a variety of orthopaedic conditions in a single source. The content is presented in a straightforward manner, including defining all currently available orthobiologic options, discussing processing characteristics and appropriate clinical use, and finally, summarizing clinical applications and outcomes as well as future potential directions.
In addition to covering current approaches and applications, the editors aim for this book to present "best practices" for those practicing and researching orthopaedic pathologies and orthobiologic treatments, including blood and cellular based therapies. The editors are world-renown experts in the field and this book fills a gap in the market.
