Bridging the ACL Gap, Bridge Enhanced ACL Restoration Surgery with Dr. Richard Levine
Candidates for ACL reconstruction are typically people who have experienced a tear or rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). This can occur due to trauma or sports injuries. In some cases, it is possible to repair the torn ACL without surgery, but in most cases, surgery is necessary to restore full function and stability. In this BONUS episode, orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Levine, shares with us the “BEAR” technique (Bridge Enhanced ACL Restoration) used for repairing ACL tears. We talk about who is a candidate for this procedure, how the surgery is performed, and how it affects a patient’s post op recovery.
