Mark your calendar for our next BEAR Academy webinar, “Playing the Long Game After ACL Injury: The BEAR Implant, Joint Preservation and Reducing PTOA vs ACLR.” Hear from Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein and Dr. Theodore Shybut, who will address the reality of PTOA after ACL injury and reconstruction, review the biological and biomechanical drivers of PTOA, and discuss how ACL preservation with BEAR may influence long-term knee health and surgical decision-making.
