Abstract
Biological agents like growth factors (ie, platelet rich plasma) and mesenchymal stem cells are rising in popularity among orthopedics. Orthobiologics therapy aims to fill the gap between conventional conservative therapies like hyaluronic acid and surgery, especially for cartilage disease. Ankle cartilage defects are very symptomatic and could lead to a severe decrease of quality of life in patients, because of pain, swelling, and inability to walk without pain. In this scenario, this paper aims to systematically review the current literature available about biological therapies for ankle cartilage.
