Regenerative Biologics & Non-Surgical Joint Cartilage Regeneration in Houston, The Woodlands and Spring
Consultations regarding regenerative and orthobiologic treatment options for appropriate patients.
What is Regenerative Biologic Options?
Regenerative medicine and orthobiologic procedures use biologic materials as part of an individualized treatment approach for certain musculoskeletal conditions. Regenerative medicine is a rapidly developing field, and the regulatory status, evidence, indications, risks, and potential benefits differ significantly among individual products and procedures.
Certain products marketed as regenerative medicine, including some stem-cell, umbilical-cord, Wharton's Jelly, exosome, and related products, have not been FDA-approved to treat orthopedic conditions. Your provider will discuss the specific treatment being considered, available alternatives, potential risks and benefits, and whether it is appropriate for your condition.

What the term “regenerative biologic” covers
“Regenerative medicine” and “orthobiologics” are umbrella terms for a wide range of biologic products and procedures. They differ substantially from one another in composition, regulatory status, available evidence, indications, and risk profile.
Because of that variation, general information cannot tell you whether a particular product is appropriate for your condition. Your provider will identify the specific product being considered and discuss its regulatory status, the alternatives, and the potential risks and benefits with you before any treatment.
Certain products marketed as regenerative medicine, including some stem-cell, umbilical-cord, Wharton's Jelly, exosome, and related products, have not been FDA-approved to treat orthopedic conditions.
