8 - Development of OrthoBiologics for Select Orthopeadic Conditions by Gloria Mathews, DVM, PhD, DACVS

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker, Gloria Matthews, presents information on various orthobiologic treatments for orthopedic conditions. Orthobiologics include natural or synthetic agents derived from biologic sources that are used to promote musculoskeletal tissue repair, regeneration, and pain relief. Matthews discusses different treatments that are either in clinical development, prelaunch, or already on the U.S. market.<br /><br />She covers topics such as osteoarthritis, including the use of extended-release corticosteroids and micronized amnion chorion; antineurotic growth factors for osteoarthritis pain relief; platelet-rich plasma and cells without scaffolds for tissue repair; chondral defects and the use of cultured chondrocytes on collagen products, tissue-engineered cartilage, and microfracture augments; and finally, tenosynovitis and the use of micronized amnion chorion.<br /><br />Matthews highlights the rationale, mechanism of action, and clinical trials associated with each treatment. She emphasizes the need for further research and development in these areas to improve patient outcomes.
