Abstract
Sport medicine is a specialization, in which traumas and bone fractures are a very common problem. Long bone fractures like ulna, radius, tibia and fibula are most frequent. As orthopaedists we should know the alternative and less invasive forms of traumas treatment (non-surgical therapy) as well as a way to support and accelerate the tissues healing process, when traditional treatment is insufficient or ineffective. Both adolescent and adult athletes have to deal with this problem. Orthobiology is an innovative field of biomedical technology. This new regenerative branch of medicine allows a new therapeutic approach aimed at biological regeneration of tissues, rather than their replacement. Additionally, orthobiological treatment reduces the pain, which is the main problem reported by the athletes.
