InternalBrace™ Ligament Augmentation Procedure: Experience in a Military Population
Kevin D. Martin, DO (Colorado Springs, CO), describes his experience with the InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation procedure for ankle and syndesmotic instability in an active military population.
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.
