2023 Specialty Day All-Access Pass-Biologics for Muscle Injury

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Ashish Bedi discusses muscle injuries and the challenges involved in treating them. Bedi emphasizes that a one-size-fits-all approach does not work when it comes to muscle injuries, as the biologic reaction differs depending on the type of injury. He explains the anatomy and different types of muscle fibers, and highlights the importance of accurately classifying muscle strain injuries using MR imaging. Bedi then discusses the current literature on platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment for muscle strains, noting that while some studies suggest PRP may expedite return to play, others show no significant difference compared to control groups. He also mentions potential future treatments, such as adipose-derived stem cells and antifibrotic agents like losartan.
