Chris Share your AT Story?

Purdue for undergrad

Baseball injuries led me to discover sports medicine

Worked with a bunch of sports in college

During undergrad

Offer outreach AT services

Bare bones:

What is BEAR, and why should an athlete choose it?

It is not a reconstruction; it is a repair technique.

Decreased pain

Less swelling

Earlier function

Feel better earlier

The Ben version:

Is skeletal maturity a strict requirement? How does it look in adolescents?

It is now approved for skeletally immature

Exercises? Any differences in 0-6weeks?

First 4 weeks, they are partially weight-bearing instead of full weight-bearing

The ligament is weaker at first

Limit the flexion range of motion

They will be braced for 6 weeks, and then a functional brace

Does it affect quad inhibition?

They feel really good, really early.

Quads are fantastic, really on.

What does the evidence say about timelines and re-tear compared to autografts?

After the first 12 weeks, it is pretty much the same as others, with a 9-12 month full return to participation.

Slower, more conservative.

BFR and NMES for the first 8 weeks

Once they have a good ROM, load them with an open kinetic chain.

LAQ with BFR.

12 weeks, I do some isometric testing

Patient education –

Educate and measure swelling

Unable to get to full TKE

It looks like meet boiled spaghetti, but we want it to become unboiled

What about 5-10 years out?

We still need more cases and research,h but it looks good with what we have

What research is lacking that we should keep an eye on?

Specific ACL autograft techniques vs BEAR

Is BEAR becoming more accessible? Does insurance affect who can get it?

No insurance issues with BEAR implants

It is being sought out by a lot of people, and until recently, it was not available for high school students.

More surgeons are learning the technique and process.
