Orthobiologic Techniques for Surgical Augmentation.

General awareness and clinical utilization of orthobiologic therapy has increased sharply in the recent years. Orthobiologics can be defined as "biological materials and substrates that promote bone, ligament, muscle, and tendon healing." There are 3 major strategies by which orthobiologics are thought to augment tissue repair or native biologic potential: factor-based, cell-based, and biomechanical augmentation.
