InternalBrace™ Ligament Augmentation Repair Technique

Brostrom repair with InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation exceeds the native ATFL strength,¹ does not violate normal tissue, and helps protect the ligament repair while it heals, allowing early mobility during recovery and a quicker return to activity.² The InternalBrace system 2.0 provides surgical versatility with added size and material options. It comes with a talus offset guide allowing for reproducible anatomic placement of the talus SwiveLock^®anchor. Surgeons can drill, tap, and implant the SwiveLock anchor through the guide. The InternalBrace system allows surgeons to augment their lateral or medial ankle instability repairs and can be used in chronic ankle injuries and revisions.
