Every 6 months or so I like to update my list of publications which include articles, book chapters, letters to the editor, and other references. Common orthobiologic research topics include platelet rich plasma, bone marrow concentrate, stem cells, adipose treatments, exosomes, and USA regulatory standards.
My first co-authored paper, "The Buford Complex..." was published way back in 1994!
So far in 2025, I have 4 articles/letters that have been published.
I stay current with the latest orthopedic and regenerative medicine research because I want my patients to have access to the best results as documented in research from around the world. Whenever I get a chance, I like to contribute and participate to this rapidly growing field within orthopedics.
