Скачать или смотреть Bridge-Enhanced ACL Repair (BEAR) | Boston Children's Hospital

Boston Children’s Hospital researchers have been working to develop a better way to treat ACL injuries and have launched a clinical trial to study their new technique. This new surgery — bridge-enhanced ACL repair (BEAR) — uses a special protein-enriched sponge to encourage the torn ends of an ACL to reconnect and heal. The patient no longer needs to have the torn ACL removed and replaced with a tendon graft.

An ACL tear can be a devastating sports injury. A growing number of young athletes face ACL injuries, or ACL tears, every year. The current standard of care, ACL surgery — or ACL reconstruction — is a good solution. But it is linked with a 20 percent risk of re-tearing the ACL, and many young patients face an increased risk of arthritis. Bridge-enhanced ACL repair may overcome these challenges.
