• Biomechanical comparison between Arthrex InternalBrace and Smith & Nephew “construct” of ligament augmentation for lateral ankle instability with matched pair cadavers • Outcome: Arthrex InternalBrace ~250N; Smith & Nephew construct (Healicoil + …

Joshua A. Metzl, MD (Denver, CO), describes a case of ankle instability repair using the the Brostrom procedure augmented with an InternalBrace™ ligament repair. This repair incorporates knotless BioComposite™ SwiveLock ® suture anchors and FiberTape ® sutures to strengthen the ligament repair at time 0 to on average 250N. 1

With the Internal Brace™ ligament augmentation 2.0 system, surgeons can now drill, tap, and implant through the talus offset guide. The system provides surgical versatility with added size and material options as well as a laser-line window to determine the SwiveLock^® implant location.

The Internal Brace 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.
