Preserve Your Knee with Bridge-Enhanced ACL Repair (BEAR® )
Board-certified orthopedic surgeons at ROC perform ACL reconstruction as a way of returning to a patient’s previous activity level.
However, recent advancements are reshaping orthopedics’ approach to ACL repair, offering patients an alternative that focuses on preserving the body’s native tissues, rather than replacing it with grafts.
ROC’s Dr. Jeffrey Feinblatt is trained to perform ACL repair using the BEAR® (Bridge-Enhanced ACL Repair) implant to help his patients get back on their feet quicker.
Why The BEAR® Implant?
The BEAR® Implant preserves your knee’s anatomy and landmarks by creating a protective environment where your knee can heal on its own. The implant then facilitates the body’s own natural healing response by supporting cell migration and proliferation.
Within 8 weeks, the implant is absorbed and replaced with new tissues, which continues to remodel and strengthen over time.

The BEAR® Implant represents a significant advancement in how we approach ACL procedures. I believe that, as the procedure gains more widespread use, the ability to preserve native ACL fibers will become a preferred option. With further advancements in techniques and longer-term studies, The BEAR® Implant will continue to improve outcomes for patients suffering from ACL injuries.
