This single-author structured narrative review synthesizes 258 unique publications and interprets chitosan through a polymer design, quantitative performance, and clinical translation framework. Literature was identified (January\u2013May 2026) using PubMed\/MEDLINE as the primary database, with targeted verification in Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar; no formal risk-of-bias or certainty grading was performed. Chitosan was studied as scaffolds, hydrogels, coatings, nanoparticles, microspheres, fibers, bioadhesives, bone-cement additives, cartilage adjuncts, tendon-to-bone systems, and intervertebral disk biomaterials. The highest human clinical evidence supported BST-CarGel\/chitosan\u2013blood implant augmentation of knee marrow stimulation, where randomized, 5-year, and biopsy data favored structural repair over microfracture alone; most other applications\u2014bone regeneration, coatings, osteomyelitis hydrogels, bone cements, tendon\/rotator cuff systems, and disk biomaterials\u2014remain preclinical or translational-preclinical. Chitosan should be interpreted as a tunable polymer platform, not a single material; translation requires chemistry-defined formulation, indication-specific mechanical qualification, clinically relevant comparators, and standardized reporting.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym18131644","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,1]],"date-time":"2026-07-01T16:50:33Z","timestamp":1782924633000},"page":"1644","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Chitosan and Chitin-Derived Biomaterials in Orthopedics: A Structured Narrative Review of Polymer Design, Quantitative Performance, and Clinical Translation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5349-4580","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Furkan","family":"Yap\u0131c\u0131","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Erzincan Binali Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m University, Erzincan 24100, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Huang, E.E., Zhang, N., Shen, H., Li, X., Maruyama, M., Utsunomiya, T., Gao, Q., Guzman, R.A., and Goodman, S.B.
