Dr. Rigby Demonstrates Tips and Pearls for Lateral Ankle Ligament Injuries: Ankle Dorsiflexion Facilitates Talar Anchor Placement for the ATFL InternalBrace™ Surgical Repair

Ryan B. Rigby, DPM (Logan, UT), demonstrates the technique of dorsiflexing the ankle to bring the proper talar start point out from under the inferior extensor retinaculum.

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.
