A new biological approach to orthopedic surgery and sports medicine

This book outlines the knowledge that exists up until now on the application of Plasma Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF<sup>®</sup>-Endoret<sup>®</sup>) in the field of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine. It describes the most relevant findings that BTI’s work group, led by doctors Eduardo Anitua and Mikel Sánchez, has made over the last 15 years in this field, from the most basic aspects of platelet biology, to the most recent clinical advances in the musculoskeletal system. In short, the development of a dynamic and translational research, which goes from the laboratory to the clinic, returning again to the laboratory. This synergy has been and is still key in the potential of PRGF<sup>®</sup>-Endoret<sup>®</sup> technology: one of the biggest advances in translational regenerative medicine.
