Unlike traditional approaches which rely on grafting, BEAR focuses on repairing the existing ligament, using a biological scaffold to bridge torn ACL ends and promote natural healing. Benefits of BEAR include preservation of original ACL anatomy, reduced recovery times, and a lower risk of rejection. Since its introduction in 2019, it has shown promising results in clinical trials with successful healing rates and improved patient outcomes. As research continues to progress, BEAR could become the standard ACL treatment offering a regenerative alternative to traditional methods.

How Long Does Scar Tissue Last After Total Knee Replacement?Scar tissue formation after total knee replacement is a natural healing response, typically developing within the first 6 to 12 weeks post-surgery.

While mild stiffness and discomfort are common, excessive scar tissue can limit knee mobility and cause persistent pain. Most patients improve with early and consistent physiotherapy, which promotes flexibility and reduces scarring. Persistent symptoms beyond 12 months may require medical evaluation to prevent complications. Proactive management, including customised exercises, weight management, and adherence to post-operative care, is key to minimising scar tissue impact. Severe stiffness, swelling, or pain after three months should prompt consultation with healthcare providers to explore interventions. Early rehabilitation and professional support help ensure optimal long-term function and comfort following knee replacement surgery.
