ACL Tears: Literature Review on Primary ACL Repair

Patrick A. Smith, MD (Columbia, MO), reviews current literature evaluating the biomechanics for primary ACL repair using the InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation procedure and discusses subsequent clinical outcomes.

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.
