Thumb CMC Arthritis: APL Suspensionplasty Using an InternalBrace™ Ligament Augmentation Procedure

Steven J. Lee, MD (New York, NY), performs an InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation procedure for thumb CMC suspensionplasty using an APL autograft.

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.
