Autologous Fat Grafting: Use of Closed Syringe Microcannula System for Enhanced Autologous Structural Grafting
This article provides background for use of acquiring autologous adipose tissue as a tissue graft and source of adult progenitor cells for use in cosmetic plastic surgery.
Radiological Interventions for Soft Tissue Injuries in Sport
This article reviews the various pharmacological agents and bioactive substrates that are available, and discusses the current evidence base of their use in common sports injuries.
An Orthopedic Tissue Adhesive for Targeted Delivery of Intraoperative Biologics
One emerging therapeutic trend in orthopedics is the use of intraoperative biologics (IOB), such as bone marrow (BM) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP), to stimulate healing. Here, we introduce the application of the biomaterial chondroitin sulfate succinimidyl succinate (CS-NHS) to deliver IOB in a hydrogel adhesive.
Dual Effect of Platelet Lysate on Human Articular Cartilage: A Maintenance of Chondrogenic Potential and a Transient Proinflammatory Activity Followed by an Inflammation Resolution
Our findings support the concept that the platelet products have a direct beneficial effect on articular chondrocytes and could drive in sequence a transient activation and the resolution of the inflammatory process, thus providing a rational for their use as therapeutic agents in cartilage inflammation and damage.
Intraoperative Adjunctive Stem Cell Treatment in Patients with Critical Limb Ischemia Using a Novel Point-of-Care Device
In a prospective trial we tested whether adjunctive intraoperative stem cell treatment in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) can be performed safely in combination with bypass surgery and/or interventional treatment.
Regenerate Augmentation with Bone Marrow Concentrate after Traumatic Bone Loss
The aim of this feasibility study was to investigate the potential of bone marrow aspiration concentrate (BMAC) for percutaneous regenerate augmentation to accelerate bony consolidation of the regenerate.
Establishing Proof of Concept: Platelet-Rich Plasma and Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate May Improve Cartilage Repair Following Surgical Treatment for Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus
Biological adjuncts, in the form of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), have been investigated with regard to their potential in improving cartilage repair in both in vitro and in vitro settings.
