Regenerative sports medicine represents a transformative approach to managing athletic injuries, leveraging advances in tissue engineering and cellular therapies to accelerate healing and improve recovery outcomes. This review examines recent innovations, including stem cell applications, platelet-rich plasma therapy, and biomaterial scaffolds, highlighting their roles in repairing musculoskeletal injuries commonly encountered in athletes. Emphasis is placed on the biological mechanisms underpinning these treatments, clinical efficacy, and current limitations. The integration of regenerative techniques into sports medicine holds the potential to reduce rehabilitation times, restore function, and extend athletic careers. However, challenges remain in standardizing protocols, ensuring safety, and translating preclinical successes into consistent clinical outcomes. Future directions include personalized regenerative strategies and combining therapies with biomechanical support systems. This review underscores the need for multidisciplinary collaboration to fully realize the potential of regenerative medicine in athletic care.
