• To reexamine the role of orthobiologics in regenerative medicine.
• To explore their mechanisms, applications, and clinical considerations.

Main Methods:

• Review of various orthobiologic substances including platelet derivatives, bone marrow-derived products, and adipose tissue.
• Analysis of their mechanisms of action, such as promoting cellular proliferation, differentiation, and angiogenesis.
• Exploration of clinical applications in bone and soft-tissue injuries.

Main Results:

• Orthobiologics effectively stimulate biological responses crucial for tissue healing.
• Diverse applications exist for treating various orthopedic conditions.
• Clinical considerations including safety, efficacy, and patient selection are discussed.

Conclusions:

• Orthobiologics represent an innovative, less invasive approach to patient care in orthopedics.
• Continued research and innovation are essential for advancing the field.
• Orthobiologics are poised to play an increasingly significant role in regenerative medicine.
