High school football player Sawyer was 13 when he got the BEAR Implant, and he returned to the field at 10 months post-surgery. His family was interested in a less invasive option since he was so young, and they liked the idea of healing his ACL versus replacing it with a graft.

Whether a patient is eligible for the BEAR Implant is based on the quality of the remaining tissue as assessed by the orthopedic surgeon using a scope, so sooner after injury is usually better because the quality of the remaining tissue degrades over time.

Now a recent study from MetroHealth found another reason why sooner is better: The longer surgery is delayed, the higher the risk of additional injury.

Soccer phenom Walker was 13 when he received the BEAR Implant. His family was most concerned about ensuring the best recovery to get him back to playing soccer. They liked that he could heal his own ACL with the BEAR Implant and that it was less invasive compared to traditional ACL surgery.

When your child tears their ACL, the decision about surgery can feel overwhelming.

In our latest blog, five parents share why they chose the BEAR Implant, highlighting factors such as preserving native tissue, reducing surgical invasiveness and supporting long-term knee health.

ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is the most commonly used surgery for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, Five “BEARents,” or parents of children who have received the BEAR Implant share insight on why they are opting for ACL restoration with the BEAR Implant due to their children’s open growth ...

Why can’t a torn ACL heal on its own? Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Gregory DiFelice describes how the natural environment of the knee is filled with fluid that prevents a blot clot from forming, which inhibits the healing response.
