ATFL and CFL with InternalBrace™ Ligament Augmentation Repair

Lorenzo Gamez, MD (Long Island, NY), discusses his augmented Brostrom procedure using the InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation procedure to repair both the ATFL and CFL. This repair incorporates knotless biocomposite SwiveLock^® suture anchors and FiberTape^® suture to strengthen the ligament repair at time 0 to on average 250N.¹

^{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.}
