Patients as young as 10 will be able to undergo the procedure, according to a July 18 news release. Joshua Strassberg, MD, and David Lin, MD, performed the practice’s first Bear procedure on a 15-year-old patient.
The Bear implant reattaches the ACL tear instead of removing and excising it. The implant allows the patient’s own blood to heal and reattach the ACL.
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.
