Orthobiologics in Knee Osteoarthritis: Balancing Innovation and Practicality in Non-Surgical Treatments
Discover how orthobiologics, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and mesenchymal stem cell therapies, are revolutionizing the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Unlike traditional pain relief approaches, orthobiologics harness the body’s natural healing potential to target cartilage repair and reduce inflammation. Recent research highlights their promise for improved pain control, mobility, and potentially delaying surgery, especially in early to moderate cases. Though minimally invasive, these cutting-edge treatments face limitations such as high costs, varying preparation standards, and limited long-term data. Learn about the latest advancements, current challenges, and practical considerations for patients and healthcare providers exploring orthobiologics as an innovative, non-surgical option for managing knee osteoarthritis.
