InternalBrace™ Ligament Augmentation Procedure: Part 2—Anterior Talofibular Ligament InternalBrace Augmentation Technique and Other Applications
Anish R. Kadakia, MD (Chicago, IL), reviews several foot and ankle applications of the InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation procedure and describes his technique for Brostrom repair with InternalBrace ligament augmentation.
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.
