Orthobiologics never cease to cause popularity within the medical science field, distinctly in regenerative medicine. Recently, adipose tissue has been an object of interest for many researchers and medical experts due to the fact that it represents a novel and potential cell source for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine purposes. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF), for instance, which is an adipose tissue-derivative, has generated optimistic results in many scenarios.

In this review we discuss the use of orthobiologics for hip disorders providing an update. The orthobiologics included in this article are hyaluronic acid, platelet rich plasma, bone marrow, adipose tissue and expanded mesenchymal stem cells.

- Musculoskeletal disorders are major global health issues, causing disability in people of all ages due to both aging and injuries, leading to significant emotional and economic consequences.
- Current treatments, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological, offer limited long-term pain relief and don't effectively repair damaged tissues.
- Novel therapies like bone marrow aspirate (BMA) show promise due to their rich cellular components that aid in tissue regeneration and modulate inflammatory responses, although the underlying regenerative mechanisms are still not completely understood.
