Explore peer-reviewed research, clinical trials, and real-world data supporting the efficacy and safety of the BEAR Implant
At 2 years, all primary and secondary study endpoints were met.
The BEAR Implant is similar to reconstruction at 2 years.
Side-to-side difference for BEAR Implant is the same as ACLR at 2 years.
The BEAR Implant provides statistically better hamstring strength at 6 and 12 months, with the trend sustained to 2 years (shown).
BEAR Implant patients experience a trend toward fewer contralateral ACL tears at 2 years.
BEAR Implant restores the torn ACL
ACL restored to similar orientation of native ACL
By 8 weeks the BEAR Implant is replaced with native cells, new collagen and blood vessels
This case study uses second-look arthroscopic imaging to demonstrate successful restoration of the native ACL, revealing healthy and robust tissue at just 3 months post-op.
