2023 Specialty Day All-Access Pass-Bioinductive Scaffolds

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Lou McIntyre discusses bioinductive scaffolds as a solution to tissue regeneration and healing. He highlights the challenges of poor tissue quality and low healing rates, leading to efforts to increase the biologic effectiveness of healing. McIntyre explains that the ideal scaffold would be cost-effective, easy to implant, and promote healing without causing inflammation. He discusses different scaffolds, including xenografts made from bovine Achilles tendon and electrospun collagen composites. He also mentions interpositional grafts and their potential for recreating the footprint. McIntyre emphasizes the emerging evidence supporting bioinductive scaffolds and their potential benefits for partial thickness tears, large tears, revision tears, and specific comorbidities. He concludes by addressing the economic analysis of the procedure and its cost-effectiveness.
