InternalBrace™ Ligament Augmentation for Lateral Ankle Repair

Professor Gordon Mackay, MD (Glasgow, Scotland), demonstrates the positioning and tensioning of the InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation repair. During this cadaveric demonstration, Dr. Mackay shows the range of motion and stability achieved with the SwiveLock^® anchor and FiberTape^® construct (InternalBrace ligament augmentation repair). Dr. Mackay cuts the FiberTape construct and shows the instability of the standard Brostrom repair.

^{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.}
