J. Lee Pace, MD (Plano, TX), discusses the biomechanics and rationale for performing an InternalBrace™ procedure as part of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgeries.
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
