Abstract

Orthobiologics is an evolving field in the management of soft tissue injuries in athletes. This field has grown exponentially in the past decade and an abundance of new treatments have emerged. However, current evidence is limited, conflicting, and heterogenous, and therefore determining the best clinical practice for specific soft tissue injuries is challenging. This chapter aims to relay the best available evidence regarding the role of orthobiologics in the management of tendon and fascia pathologies in athletes.
