Miach orthopaedics. The BEAR Implant was invented by Martha Murray, MD, founder of Miach Orthopaedics. It was created at the Boston Children’s Hospital Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, with initial research funding provided by the NFL Players Association, Boston Children’s Hospital and the National Institutes of Health. The BEAR Implant acts as a bridge between the two ends of the torn ACL. The surgeon injects a small amount of the patient’s own blood into the implant and inserts it between the torn ends of the ACL in a minimally invasive procedure. The BEAR Implant is absorbed by the body – is a resorbable implant- it os m ade from bovine collagen and is secured by sultures. It is put in between the gap where and ACL is torn.

The BEAR Implant technology would be a big improvement from ACL reconstruction surgery from Women Soccer Players who have a higher chance of tearing their ACLs during the soccer season. The BEAR Implant works by a surgeon taking the cylindrical shaped collagen which is roughly 45 mm length x 22 mm diameter and inserts a small amount into it. This allows the collagen to awake and fire. Then the collagen will be placed on one end of the torn ACL and will act as a ligament builder. The BEAR Implant was made for people who have torn their ACLs to have a second option when it comes to the surgical aspect.

Will the Bear Implant help women soccer athletes who tear their ACLs without having surgery? What does the future hold with the Bear Implant? How does the Bear Implant work? Who created the Bear Implant and why? What is the Bear Implant specifically designed for? Did the person who designed the Bear Implant have other ideas for it? Why did the FDA approve it? What is it made out of?

9/8 I don’t know what to say about you, I mean you are a fig. I’m not entirely sure why I picked you up at the store but you struck my eye sight. I mean, who would just eat you plain. As I was walking through the store with you, I’m sure people were looking at me weird. I mean I picked you up and put you in a plastic bag and walked to the checkout line, like I was following the herd to eat. As the lines become smaller, I am next in line and the cashier is looking me up and down probably wondering why I picked you and only have you in my hand. A fig, I haven’t named you yet but i’m sure I will, your outside looks like a pretty velvety flower or a Gynura aurantiaca. Your outside may be purple and velvety but the inside is white with red seeds. You are sweet almost like honey. I’m running out of things to say, but next time I will say more.

9/9 WELL, I had my fig for 3 days but I did end up eating it and trying it with my mom. Now i need to go to my dad’s house and have him try it with me. I have mixed feelings about my fig. I miss seeing him. I made him a little life. I pretended he had a life, I made up stories for him. I pretended to make up what he eat for breakfast and what he did during the day while I was at school and he was home. He would watch tv and snack all day, binge on a new show. I love greys anatomy, but lately it hasn’t been that good, but one day I came home and he was bingeing the upcoming episodes and I immediately walked to the couch and sat down and watched with him. By the way his name is freddie. It’s the best one I could come up with, but in the end he lived a good life, I think.
