First Innovation in ACL Tear Treatment in More Than 30 Years
LECOM Health Orthopedic Surgeon Joshua Tuck, D.O., is the first provider in Erie, Pa., to offer the BEAR (Bridge-Enhanced ACL Repair) Implant for treatment of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, one of the most common knee injuries in the U.S. The BEAR Implant is the first medical advancement to enable the body to heal its own torn ACL. This new approach is a paradigm shift from the traditional standard of care – reconstruction that replaces the ACL with a graft – and is the first innovation in ACL tear treatment in more than 30 years.
