Biologics in Orthopedics

Biologics in orthopedics are medical treatments derived from natural substances like cells, proteins, or tissues to help repair and heal bones, cartilage, and soft tissues. They work by stimulating the body's own healing processes, promoting tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation. Common biologics include platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapies. These options are often used for injuries like torn tendons, ligament damage, or osteoarthritis, offering a minimally invasive alternative to surgery, with the goal of restoring function and reducing pain more effectively.
