Revolutionary Orthopedic Procedures
-
BEAR Procedure: An innovative ACL repair method that uses a bridge-enhanced scaffold to promote natural healing without grafting. The BEAR Procedure utilizes a collagen implant to stimulate the body’s natural healing process, preserving more of the knee’s structure and reducing donor site pain. Ideal for athletes and active individuals, BEAR supports a smooth return to sports, with knees feeling more normal much sooner than with traditional methods, though the return-to-sport timeline remains similar at around 9 months.
-
REGENETEN: A state-of-the-art collagen-based implant that enhances the body’s natural healing process for rotator cuff tears. This innovative treatment facilitates a quicker recovery compared to traditional rotator cuff reconstructions with screws and sutures. Patients often experience rapid pain relief, improved shoulder strength, and a reduced recovery timeline, making REGENETEN an excellent choice for restoring full shoulder function.
-
Osteochondral Grafting: For patients with damaged cartilage, osteochondral grafting, a procedure that replaces damaged cartilage and underlying bone with healthy tissue from a donor or autograft. This method is effective for restoring joint function and alleviating pain, especially in patients with localized cartilage defects. It can help delay arthritis progression and improve joint health, preserving mobility and enhancing quality of life.
-
MACI (Matrix-Induced Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation): An advanced treatment for cartilage defects using the patient’s own cartilage cells to regenerate healthy tissue. Recently available in an arthroscopic version, this approach involves harvesting cartilage cells, expanding them in a lab, and implanting them into the damaged area through a small incision, often resulting in a less painful and quicker recovery.
