Spring 2020 Fellows Webinars-AOSSM Recorded Webinar: Orthobiologics - What You Need to Know: A Primer and Research Update

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The webinar titled "Orthobiologics, What You Need to Know, a Primer and Research Update" features Dr. Adam Anz and Dr. Jason Dragoo discussing orthobiologics and various treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) for conditions like osteoarthritis. They emphasize the importance of evidence-based practice and discuss the evidence behind these treatments, including in vitro studies, clinical applications, and the use of a phased approach to develop the evidence base. The video provides references to studies supporting the use of PRP and BMAC and addresses considerations such as intraosseous injections and the inflammatory component of osteoarthritis. Drs. Anz and Dragoo are credited as the faculty for the webinar, which is supported by OSER. The video is available on the AOSSM and Biologic Association websites for future reference.<br /><br />In another video segment, Drs. Jason Anz and Adam Rego explore regenerative medicine topics. They discuss the use of solvents to dilute inflammatory environments and restore homeostasis, the importance of conducting multiple studies to determine treatment efficacy, and the challenges of discussing costs with patients. They mention the use of guinea pig models for evidence, the use of adipose-derived cells in cartilage and bone regeneration, and optimizing point-of-care procedures for cell harvest. They also share insights on exercise and filgastrin to enhance PRP products, their promising studies using mobilized PRP and BMAC, and the potential impact of blood flow restriction therapy on cell mobilization. The video provides valuable insights into regenerative medicine and ongoing research in the field. No specific credits are mentioned for this video segment.
