Orthobiologic Treatment Options for Injuries in Endurance Athletes

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The study of orthobiologics has been increasing over the past 40 years, not only because of the promise for reduced healing time, but also for the potential to prevent the need for surgical intervention. For endurance athletes, this can mean shorter recovery using only minimally invasive procedures. This chapter will focus on the field of orthobiologics, define clinically useful terms, and explain basic physiology of treatments, general indications for their use, and current recommendations for common lower limb injuries in endurance athletes.
