Biologics in Rotator Cuff, Meniscus, Cartilage and Osteoarthritis Article

  • Interviews, Publications, Shoulder Injury

The article entitled “Application of biologics in the treatment of the rotator cuff, meniscus, cartilage, and osteoarthritis” reviewed the current status of the use of platelet-rich plasma, bone marrow aspirate, and stem cells within sports medicine.

There is evidence that these technologies are going to influence the way that orthopaedic surgeons practice medicine, and work at the Andrews Institute is focusing on leading the way but also producing proof that these methods are making a difference in the lives of our patients.

If you have questions about platelet rich plasma, bone marrow aspirate, or stem cells please contact the Gulf Breeze, Florida orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Adam Anz located at the Andrews Institute.
