Abstract:
The decision to incorporate ortho-biologics into a clinical practice will ultimately depend on physicians’ preferences and the resources available to their practice. It is important to emphasize that different biologics are used for different pathologies/injuries and in different settings, such as the operating room or in the office. Physicians thinking about using biologics in their practices should consider the time commitment required to learn and use the technique, insurance coverage, and informed consent. The decision to treat patients with ortho-biologics should be a shared decision based on current literature, previous treatment regimen, and patients’ goals.
