BEAR Implant ACL Repair
BEAR (Bridge-Enhanced) ACL Repair is another tool (in addition to BMC "stem cell" repair) to address acute tears of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee.
An Alternative Method of Meniscus Root Tear Fixation with Biologic Augmentation
Part 1: https://youtu.be/Cwrft9JG_e4
Would you fix this medial meniscus root tear in a 58-year-old with grade 3 compartmental changes? How would you fix it?
Part 2: https://youtu.be/QzWIL8NMb14
Horizontal and vertical mattress all-inside suture/suture anchor fixation into vascular capsule; added a third “bridging anchor”posteriorly. Bone fixation was felt too inferior/non-anatomic.

Proximal ACL Tear Repair of the Knee, Utilizing Cellular Therapy ("Stem Cell")
A ski injury that tears the anterior cruciate ligament is often right off of the femur/notch, allowing direct repair (vs. full reconstruction w/ a graft).
Shorter rehab, quicker recovery, and often re-inforced with the Artelon flexgraft.
