Bridge-Enhanced ACL Repair (BEAR) in Meniscus Repair

Description

The bridge-enhanced ACL repair (BEAR) implant is a collagen-based scaffold loaded with whole blood. It is designed to promote healing in the setting of intraarticular knee pathology. This study would compare clinical outcomes and synovial fluid cytokine profiles in patients who undergo isolated meniscal repair with or without the BEAR implant.
