Gerard Malanga, MD is triple board-certified in sports medicine, pain medicine, and physical medicine and rehabilitation. He completed his undergraduate degree in Biology at Villanova and medical training at New Jersey Medical school. He went on to complete a PM&R residency at Rutgers University followed by a sports medicine fellowship at the Mayo Clinic. Dr. Malanga has authored several textbooks and countless articles. He is considered a thought leader in the field of sports medicine, musculoskeletal medicine, and orthobiologics, serving as the past president of the Interventional Orthopedics Foundation.  


In this show we discuss: 

  • Terminology and why "regenerative medicine" may be misleading 
  • When orthobiologics may be appropriate in the treatment paradigm 
  • The different types of treatments (prolotherapy, PRP, "stem cells") 
  • What evidence-based medicine actually means 
  • DataBiologics and the future of this field  

  • Jeremy Magalon, Ph.D. highlighting that not all PRP is created equal: 

    Characterization and comparison of 5 platelet-rich plasma preparations in a single-donor model (PMID 24725317) 

    Technical and biological review of authorized medical devices for platelet-rich plasma preparation in the field of regenerative medicine (PMID 33155867)
