BEAR focuses on natural healing, using a collagen scaffold to bridge the gap between torn ACL ends and promote regeneration. In contrast, STARR aims to reinforce the ligament using the patient’s tissue combined with a bioengineered scaffold for enhanced durability. Both methods aim to preserve natural knee kinematics but employ different strategies. The choice between the two depends on individual injury specifics and recovery objectives. Future research is expected to refine these techniques further, promising improved patient outcomes through less invasive procedures. Notably, STARR appears to foster better ligament healing processes.
