Joshua A. Metzl, MD (Denver, CO), describes a case of ankle instability repair using the the Brostrom procedure augmented with an InternalBrace™ ligament repair.

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.
