The Bear implant is relatively new, with many surgeons implementing it in their practices in the last year. It takes what is left of a person’s own ACL and attaches it to a graft, allowing the patient’s body to heal itself, according to the report.

Dr. Yen Shipley has practiced as an orthopedic surgeon in Portland for more than 11 years. She works with Multnomah Orthopedic Clinic.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
