Orthobiologics Podcast

In this episode, our host Dr. Trevor Turner, RMSK interviews Dr. Jason Marchetti, a board certified PM&R physician, about his latest book: A Buyer's Guide to Stem Cell Therapies (https://www.amazon.com/Buyers-Guide-Stem-Cell-Therapies-ebook/dp/B072KJSS1P).

They discuss how patients can make a well informed decision when choosing an Orthobiologics doctor or regenerative medicine treatment. This includes prolotherapy, PRP, bone marrow derived (BMAC) and adipose derived stem cells, and even amniotic tissue and umbilical derived products. Furthermore, questions about labral tears, meniscus tears, and ACL tears are answered from selected forums on reddit.com.

This episode describes what the real definition of a stem cell is and how we obtain them for use in Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. We discuss the ways in which the current evidence shows that they help people with injuries with arthritis as an example. We also discuss whether getting stem cells from the bone marrow or the fat is the ideal source and where the FDA stands on all of this. Have questions?
