Summary:
This review evaluated orthobiologic treatments—such as PRP, hyaluronic acid, and cell-based therapies—for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) with cartilage damage. All studies showed improved patient outcomes, with cell-based therapies offering the greatest benefits, particularly when used during hip arthroscopy.
Takeaway:
For patients with FAIS and cartilage damage, cell-based therapies may boost healing, reduce pain, and improve recovery after surgery.
