NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Skip Bayless is well-known for his work as a sports commentator and has recently celebrated Dr. Jonathan Glashow’s pioneering achievement in ACL surgery on his Twitter account. As a renowned sports media personality, Skip Вауlеѕѕ is well aware that anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are on the rise at all levels of sport, including elite athletics, and the first surgery using BEAR® Implant technology commercially is a game changer for professional athletes. ACL injury can have implications on an athlete’s sports longevity and other long-term consequences. Miach Orthopaedics’ BEAR® (Bridge Enhanced ACL Restoration) procedure is a new, less-invasive medical advancement, enabling the body to heal its own torn ACL. The very first commercial surgical case was performed in the U.S. by Jonathan L. Glashow, M.D. Unlike reconstruction, which is the current standard of care, Dr. Glashow was able to utilize the BEAR® Implant, which does not require a second surgical wound site to remove a healthy tendon from another part of the leg or use a donor’s tendon. The implant acts as a bridge between the two ends of the torn ACL. The surgeon injects a small amount of the patient’s own blood into the implant, inserting it between the torn ends of the ACL in a minimally invasive procedure. The combination of the BEAR® Implant and the patient’s blood enables the body to heal the torn ends of the ACL back together and maintain its original attachments to the femur and tibia. As the ACL heals, the implant is absorbed by the body, within approximately eight weeks.
