CAN THE BEAR 🐻 IMPLANT BE USED ON A PCL TEAR? Dr. P’s 3 Secrets – Can the BEAR Implant Be Used for the PCL? … a BEPR???🤔😀 1. The BEAR Implant Is FDA-Approved for ACL Tears Only The BEAR (Bridge-Enhanced ACL Restoration) Implant is currently FDA-approved only for acute ACL tears. It has not been studied or approved for PCL tears, so any use in the posterior cruciate ligament is considered off-label. 2. Surgeons May Use It Off-Label—With Clinical Judgment and Proper Informed Consent Licensed surgeons are legally permitted to use FDA-approved devices off-label if, in their expert judgment, it’s in the patient’s best interest—as long as proper informed consent is obtained. While we have not yet performed a “BEAR” procedure on a PCL, there are scattered case reports where it has been used this way. Biologically, the idea makes sense—but no formal research studies have yet confirmed safety or efficacy in PCL use. 3. The PCL Often Heals Naturally—But Not Always Thanks to a stronger blood supply and anatomical advantages, many PCL tears heal without surgery. However, in complex or high-grade cases, healing may be incomplete—and regenerative options like BEAR could eventually play a role once research catches up. BONUS – Dr. P’s Off-Label Reality Check: What You’re Not Told Off-label use is common in medicine, and legal when done ethically with informed consent. Here are three widely used examples: Gabapentin – Approved for seizures; commonly used off-label for nerve pain Botox – Approved for migraines/spasticity; used off-label for TMJ and more PRP & Bone Marrow Aspirate Cells (BMAC) – These are blood products, so technically are not subject to FDA clearance or approval. However, the equipment and kits used to process them are regulated by the FDA. Most kits are only FDA-cleared for creating PRP for bone graft handling. So technically, using PRP/BMAC for arthritis or rotator cuff tears is off-label, but widely accepted and practiced. Want to Learn More About BEAR, BEPR, PRP, or PCL Injuries?
