Biologic Treatments for Orthopaedic Care in Canada

Several different so-called "biologic" treatments are available to treat a number of orthopaedic conditions. These treatments usually involve obtaining different cells, proteins, or other components from a patient's own blood or bone marrow, and then injecting them back into a diseased area in the patient's body (such as an arthritic knee).

 

There is currently a lot of controversy regarding the use of biologics in orthopaedics, and many of these treatments are considered "experimental" in Canada. If you are considering biologics for your orthopaedic condition, it is best to speak with an expert familiar with the current scientific evidence in these treatment areas.
