PLC Reconstruction: Collateral Ligament FiberTag® TightRope® Implants and InternalBrace™ Technique

Michael Alaia, MD (New York, NY), demonstrates a posterolateral corner (PLC) reconstruction using Collateral Ligament FiberTag® TightRope® implants with the InternalBrace™ technique. The new Collateral Ligament FiberTag TightRope implants were optimized for extra-articular knee ligament procedures by using a new, smaller FiberTag implant and atraumatic tapered needles for graft preparation.

^{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.}
