Miach Orthopaedics Miach Orthopaedics is transforming anterior cruciate ligament tear treatment with the BEAR® Implant

At 40, Mike Brennan tore his ACL, MCL, and meniscus when two training partners crashed into his knee during a Krav Maga session. As someone who logged 30-plus mile trail runs, he wondered if his athletic life was over.

Mike chose the BEAR Implant, performed by Kai Mithoefer, MD of Boston Bone and Joint Institute, to heal his own ACL rather than replace it with a graft. He has since run more than 15 ultramarathons.

This past Saturday, Mike returned to the Womp Romp 50K in Hingham, MA, and set a personal record for the distance, finishing in 5:28. Four years older and post-surgery, he beat his previous best. “My knee felt great the whole time and it continues to be solid no matter what I throw at it,” he said.

We recently announced new two-year outcomes from the Bridge Registry, published in Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy (KSSTA), alongside a milestone of more than 10,000 patients treated with the BEAR Implant.

Jamal Rushdy, president and chief executive officer of Miach Orthopaedics, shares his perspective on what these real-world results mean for the momentum behind ACL restoration.

If you're weighing your options after an ACL tear, one of the first things to understand is how these two surgeries differ.

In ACL reconstruction, the surgeon removes the torn ligament and replaces it with a tendon graft. The BEAR Implant creates a protective environment that enables your ACL to heal - no graft required. Length of rehab and return to sport are similar; however, the early phases of BEAR Implant rehab are typically more conservative to protect the healing ACL tissue.

If you've torn your ACL later in life, you may be wondering whether a treatment like the BEAR Implant is even an option for you. The answer has less to do with your age than you might think.

In our latest blog, orthopedic surgeons Dr. Dayne Mickelson and Dr. Tyler Nathe of Proliance Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine explain why age alone doesn't decide eligibility.

The blog also features patients in their 50s and 60s who chose the BEAR Implant to heal their own ACL and get back to skiing, hiking, and ice hockey.

Tomorrow is National Singing Day, and we can't think of a better way to mark it than with Nina. 🎤

Earlier this year, Nina tore her ACL and underwent BEAR Implant surgery to heal her torn ACL at Shriners Children’s Philadelphia. Now she's back to doing what she loves, including performing with School of Rock.

Watch her take the mic for Shriners Philly Carpool Karaoke Remixed. Great job, Nina! 👏👏

An ACL injury brings a lot of questions, and some of the most reassuring answers come from someone who has been through it. That's the idea behind the BEAR Implant Mentor Program powered by PatientPartner.

Our new blog breaks down how the program works, from filling out a short questionnaire to getting matched and messaging one-on-one with a mentor at your own pace. It's free, and you don't need to have had the BEAR Implant yet to connect.

Today we announced publication of new two-year results from the Bridge Registry and that more than 10,000 patients have been treated with the BEAR Implant since commercial launch.

The Bridge Registry is a national study that follows patients treated with the BEAR Implant to track real-world outcomes. Study results published in Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy (KSSTA) show low ACL retear rates and continued improvement in knee function through two years.
