This book is a landmark contribution organized by orthopedic surgeons to put forth the newest technologies and techniques to optimize patient’s skeletal outcomes. This is a landmark era because the orthopedic surgeons long referred to as “carpenters” who crafted mechanical solutions to skeletal problems have transformed into mixed media artists and cell biologists. The carpenters were seen to be cutting down huge limbs or delicately redirecting the ropes and pulleys to help the limbs carry load, swing a tennis racket, or pitch a ball. The carpenters still have their saws and hammers and their power tools for the really big jobs but enter the new age of orthobiologics and of cell-based therapies which changes the thinking, the approaches, and the successes. Since the days of Aristotle, the ortho-docs have used the special sauce, the marrow, to add value to their reconstructions, so in a small way they were always into cell-based therapies. But now the marrow is used more wisely; the marrow and blood are fractionated and various components segregated from one another to more efficiently make use of one component’s special capabilities while removing inhibitory o
