ACL Injuries: Arthroscopic All-Inside ACL Reconstruction Using the GraftLink® and InternalBrace™ Techniques and TightRope® II Implant
ACL Injuries: Arthroscopic All-Inside ACL Reconstruction Using the GraftLink® and InternalBrace™ Techniques and TightRope® II Implant
Patrick A. Smith, MD (Columbia, MO), demonstrates how to prepare a semitendosis graft for the GraftLink® technique using a TightRope® II RT implant with FiberTape® suture for the InternalBrace™ technique.
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.
