Camille Clinton, MD, and John Manning, MD, became the first surgeons at Evergreen to perform the procedure, which allows the body to heal a torn ACL by using the patient’s own blood. 

Evergreen is one of 10 sites in the U.S. currently participating in an ongoing BEAR implant study. 

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
