UCL InternalBrace™ System

The InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation procedure with SwiveLock® anchors and FiberTape® suture is a reasonable alternative that may eliminate secondary hardware removal and provide a more attractive solution for patient comfort and overall cosmesis.
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.

UCL Repair

Young overhead athletes who sustain an injury to their medial ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) complex, isolated to the proximal or distal end of the ligament and without chronic attritional damage, may benefit from a repair rather than a reconstruction procedure.1

FiberTak® Button Tenodesis Technique

Use the all-suture FiberTak button in lieu of traditional metal buttons for both bicortical and unicortical tension-slide techniques. Its 2.6 mm-diameter sheath is preloaded with 2-0 FiberLink™ sutures that are used to shuttle the whipstitch limbs through the sheath.
Features and Benefits
- Button-first technique helps eliminate need to find the drill hole
- 2-0 FiberLink sutures in blue and white/black for easy identification
- All-suture FiberTak button is not visible on x-ray
- 17% stronger than metal buttons1
- 2.6 mm drill reduces the hole 19% compared to the 3.2 mm hole commonly used for metal buttons

Triceps Technique

A modified SpeedBridge™ construct, with multiple suture passes and knotless SwiveLock® anchors laterally, provides a strong repair that may be applied in many tendon repair indications. An alternate repair technique is the use of whip stitches for the tendon that are passed through two small transosseous tunnels. The sutures are then crossed over the tendon to create a suture bridging construct completed with knotless SwiveLock anchors.
