The BEAR implant uses a tissue graft from a donor or a patient and lets a torn ACL heal itself. The procedure can provide a quicker healing process. 

So far in 2023, seven other places have added the BEAR implant.

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.
