Abstract

In today's digital era, media platforms such as YouTube have become dominant sources of health information, yet much of the content on orthobiologic treatments-such as platelet-rich plasma, bone marrow aspirate concentrate, and mesenchymal stem cells-is of low quality, misleading, and unreliable. Commercial incentives and algorithm-driven content promotion allow misinformation to outpace evidence-based guidance. Despite this field's promising therapeutic potential, the unchecked spread of digital misinformation threatens patient understanding, informed consent, and trust in medical care. Given digital media's profound influence on patient perceptions, it is an ethical and clinical imperative for academic and medical communities to intentionally produce accessible, high-quality, evidence-based content and safeguard medical truth.

在错误信息时代维护真理。
在当今的数字时代,像YouTube这样的媒体平台已经成为健康信息的主要来源,然而,许多关于骨科治疗的内容——比如富血小板血浆、骨髓浓缩物和间充质干细胞——都是低质量、误导和不可靠的。商业激励和算法驱动的内容推广使得错误信息的传播速度超过了基于证据的指导。尽管这一领域有很大的治疗潜力,但数字错误信息的不受控制的传播威胁着患者的理解、知情同意和对医疗保健的信任。鉴于数字媒体对患者认知的深刻影响,学术界和医学界有意生产可访问的、高质量的、基于证据的内容并维护医学真相是一项伦理和临床责任。
