Product

Der Eingriff zur InternalBrace-Bandaugmentation mit SwiveLock-Ankern und FiberTape-Fäden stellt eine angemessene Alternative dar, bei der kein Zweiteingriff zur Materialentfernung erforderlich ist und die eine ansprechendere Lösung im Hinblick auf den Patientenkomfort und das kosmetische Gesamtergebnis bietet.
Die InternalBrace-Operationstechnik ist nur zur Augmentation der primären Naht / Rekonstruktion vorgesehen, bei der die Kontaktfläche zwischen Weichteil und Knochen während der Heilungsperiode vergrößert wird. Sie ist nicht als Ersatz für das native Band gedacht. Die InternalBrace-Technik ist für Eingriffe zur Fixierung von Weichteilgewebe am Knochen vorgesehen. Sie ist nicht für die Knochen-zu-Knochen-Fixierung zugelassen.

The UCL InternalBrace™ system is designed for repairing the medial ulnar collateral ligament following a complete or partial avulsion from the proximal or distal attachment without evidence of poor-quality tissue, which would otherwise require reconstruction. Completing the InternalBrace procedure requires two 3.5 mm PEEK SwiveLock® anchors loaded with collagen-coated FiberTape® suture and a #0 FiberWire® repair suture. The system also includes the necessary drill and taps to prepare the ulnar and humeral tunnels.&nbsp;
 
 
The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue approximation during the healing period and is not intended as a replacement for the native ligament. The InternalBrace technique is for use during soft tissue-to-bone fixation procedures and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.&nbsp;

Elbow UCL Repair With the UCL InternalBrace™  System

Jeffrey R. Dugas, MD, (Birmingham, AL) discusses ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) repair for young overhead athletes who present with acute tears—from either the proximal or distal end of the ligament—not associated with attritional or degenerative disease. Dr. Dugas performs an InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation repair by forming a bone socket in the sublime tubercle with a special drill, guide, and tap, and then places a 3.5 mm PEEK SwiveLock® anchor loaded with collagen-coated FiberTape® suture and a #0 FiberWire® suture repair stitch. A socket with the drill and a larger tap is formed in the humeral epicondyle. The previously placed anchor and FiberTape suture span the repaired ligament and a second 3.5 mm PEEK SwiveLock anchor is placed after appropriate tensioning. In the appropriate patient, the InternalBrace ligament augmentation repair allows for a more aggressive rehab protocol and earlier return to competition as compared to a conventional Tommy John reconstruction.1

UCL Repair With the InternalBrace™ System

Scott P. Steinmann, MD (Chattanooga, TN), discusses how patients with complex, acute post-traumatic elbow instability following dislocation may require treatment using an external fixator after open reduction and soft-tissue reconstruction. The InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation procedure with SwiveLock® anchors and FiberTape® suture is a reasonable alternative that may eliminate secondary hardware removal and provide a more attractive solution for patient comfort and overall cosmesis.&nbsp;
