Where this comes from

Abstract

Many allogeneic biologic materials, by themselves or in combination with cells or cell products, may be transformative in healing or regeneration of musculoskeletal bone and soft tissues. By reconfiguring the size, shape, and methods of tissue preparation to improve deliverability and storage, unique iterations of traditional tissue scaffolds have emerged. These new iterations, combined with new cell technologies, have shaped an exciting platform of regenerative products that are effective and provide a bridge to newer and better methods of providing care for orthopedic foot and ankle patients.
