N2 - In the past 2 decades, there has been a rapid expansion of clinical studies investigating the safety and efficacy of biological treatment methods for a wide range of diseases. These biological treatment methods increasingly are used in clinical practice based on limited available evidence. This article provides an overview of evidence on biological treatment methods for foot and ankle pathologies, including ankle osteoarthritis, osteochondral lesions of the talus, and Achilles tendinopathy.
