Patella Tendon Tears: Patella Tendon Repair With InternalBrace™ Ligament Augmentation Procedure

James M. Paci, MD (Long Island, NY), demonstrates a midsubstance patella tendon repair using the InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation procedure.

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.
