Fertilized ACL Reconstruction

How it is different

This technique takes traditional ACL reconstruction one step further by using a mixture of bone marrow concentrate, autograft bone and demineralized bone matrix to fill the tunnels within the knee joint during surgery. This technique also utilizes an innovative concept of internal brace reinforcement to improve stability of the healing ACL.  

Benefits

Patients have reported the same results as the standard ACL reconstruction with:

• Shorter recovery times. 
• No known additional risks

Patients from across the United States and Europe have received the fertilized ACL procedure.
