Abstract
Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) is now commonly used in orthopedic surgery. Animal studies showed promising results for cartilage, bone, and soft tissue healing; however, many of these outcomes have yet to be translated to human models. While there has been an increase in the use of BMAC in foot and ankle procedures, the associated clinical evidence is limited. The purpose of this review is to analyze the existing literature in order to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BMAC in foot and ankle surgery.
