Protocols and Techniques for Orthobiologic Procedures

Many procedural techniques have been described and used for orthobiologics procedures with little research on the ideal technique. This section outlines the commonly used materials and techniques from start to finish for these procedures. Post-procedure pain is common during and after many of these injections, and local and regional anesthesia during these procedures is discussed. Accuracy and safety of tendon, ligament, cartilage, intra-osseous, and spinal orthobiologic procedures are improved with the utilization of image guidance.
