Metabolic Therapies in Orthopedics, Second Edition (2^nd Ed.)

The first medical reference textbook to compile an unprecedented synthesis of evidence for regenerative orthopedics by key opinion leaders

Thirty-five authors address your clinical questions

What emerging technologies are right for my clinical practice? How can I strengthen my patients before their orthopedic surgery? Practically speaking, how can I leverage the latest metabolic therapies to safeguard my patients from toxins, medications, food and chronic diseases known to adversely affect the musculoskeletal system?
