Abstract

Platelet-Rich Plasma and other biocellular grafts such as bone marrow aspirate concentrate are becoming a common form of therapy in the outpatient and surgical setting for musculoskeletal injuries. This chapter will focus on the hematopoietic autografts of PRP and bone marrow aspirate concentrate and their role in musculoskeletal injury such as that involving tendon, muscle and cartilage. In addition, the utilization of autologous adipose tissue matrices (Autologous Regenerative Matrices) will be briefly discussed.
