This book is a concise guide that provides an easy to follow template for other physicians to develop similar stem cell based treatments within their specialty. It identifies and summarizes the current world-wide orthopedic stem cell trials.   Organized into three sections, Orthopedic Stem Cell Surgery presents clinical studies that examine the procedures for setting up and implementing stem cell surgery within the specialty of orthopedics. Chapters maintain an accessible narrative while also addressing complex studies related to orthopedic stem cell surgery.  A sister text to the recently published, Retinal and Optic Nerve Stem Cell Surgery, and Neurologic Stem Cell Surgery this expertly written book examines critical  Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved studies.
