Operative Applications of Placental Tissue Matrix in Orthopaedic Sports Injuries: A Review of the Literature.

CONCLUSION: Operative uses of placental and amniotic membrane-derived tissues appear to be safe when utilized as an adjuvant or augmentation option along with surgical reconstruction. However, several factors may come into play when considering the diversity of commercially available products. Future clinical trials will need to confirm the safety and demonstrate clearer indications and specific guidelines for use in each clinical scenario involving operative management of tendon injuries. Nevertheless, this review will serve as an up-to-date reference and provide an impetus for future investigations. PMID: 30472724 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
