InternalBrace™ Ligament Augmentation in the Repair of Acute Deltoid Rupture Associated With Ankle Fracture

Ryan B. Rigby, DPM (Logan, UT), presents biomechanical research and his preferred technique for acute deep deltoid repair using the InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation procedure.

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-tobone fixation procedures and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.
