Using Cutting Edge Treatments While Limiting Liability

September 10, 2020 • IMG • Season 1 • Episode 5

In this episode of the Growing a Successful Orthopedic Practice Podcast, Jeff Segal, M.D., J.D., CEO and Founder of Medical Justice, joins Keith Landry to discuss how orthopedic physicians can use stem-cell therapies and other cutting edge treatments in their practices while limiting liability.

Dr. Segal explains if a physician manipulates stem cells and puts them back into the body to serve a different purpose than the original one, the FDA treats that like a drug and will likely require a new drug application. He reminds us a physician's claims about the benefits of stem-cell therapy must be supported by medical literature.
