Question: Should a small Orthobiologic animal study immediately result in a mass produced biologic drug for humans?
Video #14 in the “Know Series” of most common Prp and Stem Cell and orthobiologic questions we get from Doctors and patients and salespeople.
Does having an IRB (institutional review board) approval or a study mean that you DON'T have to abide by the FDA regulations for amniotic fluid, umbilical cord blood, exosomes, Wharton's Jelly, or anything else in regenerative medicine? NO :)
The Dallas PRP and Stem Cell Institute/Texas Orthobiologic Institute “Know Series” Video #9. In this short video clip Don Buford, MD answers a surprisingly common question asked by patients…..”Will my knee xrays get better after a stem cell injection” As it turns out, there are many “stem cell” clinics running stem cell seminars at which patients are told that their cartilage will completely regenerate and that their X-rays will get better. This is not proven by any published study in orthopedics and patients should not be told this as a sales ploy.
Many unscrupulous regenerative medicine clinics are telling patients that because their clinic is doing a “study”, or sometimes an “IRB study”, their procedures are allowed by the FDA. This is simply not true. Many orthobiologics are regulated by the FDA and if there are claims of stem cells in the product, then the FDA definitely is involved.
One of the most common questions I get in clinic from prospective patients is about the post procedure rehab and the recovery process. Many patients come to see me because they have been told that their next option is surgery with significant time off of work and other family and recreational activities. Naturally, they want to know how much down time is involved with orthobiologic injections if they are a candidate. The good news? For virtually every clinical condition I treat, the “downtime” after an orthobiologic injection is measured in days instead of weeks or months like it usually is after a surgical procedure
Have Exosomes been shown to work in humans for orthopedics? Ummmm, NO!
