short of surgery.
So many of these are non-operative treatments.
So for example, ECRB tendinosis, ECRB is the extensor carpi radialis brevis.
It's an elbow extensor tendon, otherwise known as tennis elbow.
The same can be said of the common flexor tendon group, so-called golfer's elbow.
These treatments like platelet-rich plasma have been shown to be helpful
in our own research and the research of others.
And if you contrast that, for example, with rotator cuff tears or tendinosis, the application of PRP has probably been less useful in that setting.
So without getting into the weeds, so to speak, I want to make it clear that there are differences among tendon groups within the human body.
and there are also differences in the host response so what may work for me with the same problem that you might have may not work for you and and it's this is across many many numbers of people and we don't know the details of this and i'm certainly no expert in regenerative medicine
But it's very clear that what you bring to the table based upon your own genetics and your own composition, if you will, without once again getting into the nuances of what types of factors we're talking about, it's clear that the differences between humans have an impact on the responses to these biologics, which makes it that much more difficult.
So I know it's an exciting area and we're all interested in it.
But I think we don't have a lot of the data that we need to promote it on a regular basis.
Having said that, is it used in most sports medicine practices around the US and around the world?
Absolutely.
But we just don't have the data that a purist would like to have to implement this across all patient populations.
Perfect.
