Abstract

There has been enormous demand for biomaterials that can be utilized in repair and regeneration applications of musculoskeletal conditions caused by sports injuries. It has been broadly accepted that autografts and allografts are the most efficient repair materials; however, the significance of the rise of biomaterial-based approaches and tissue engineering strategies cannot be overlooked. Animal studies and preclinical trials with these materials are promising, and it can be foreseen that the new era in the treatment for the sports-related injuries will include many tissue engineering approaches. This chapter will focus on the design and application of synthetic biomaterials used in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. The final part of this chapter will also include a summary of the regulatory landscape for such biomaterial and tissue engineering approaches.
