InternalBrace™ Ligament Augmentation: The Gold Standard in Ankle Instability: Part 1— InternalBrace Ligament Augmentation Procedure Rationale
Anish R. Kadakia, MD (Chicago, IL) discusses the rationale, biology, biomechanics, and benefits of 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.
