%X The Bridge-Enhanced ACL Repair (BEAR) procedure is an alternate form of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery that involves suture repair of the ligament combined with a scaffold to bridge the gap between the torn ligament ends. In this paper, we report outcomes of this procedure and a non-randomized concurrent control group receiving ACL reconstruction with quadrupled hamstring tendon autograft. We hypothesized that patients treated with Bridge-Enhanced ACL Repair would have physical exam findings, patient reported outcomes and adverse events at one and two years that were similar to patients treated with ACL reconstruction
