Foot and Ankle Fellowship Forum: Perfecting Your ATFL Repair InternalBrace™ Surgical Technique
David I. Pedowitz, MD (Philadelphia, PA), discusses his technique pearls for performing an ATFL InternalBrace™ ligament 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-to-bone fixation procedures and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.
