Reinforcing Outcomes: The Research Pyramid of the InternalBrace™ Technique in ACLR—Episode 1: Safety and Translational Studies

Dive into a decade of peer-reviewed scientific literature and proven outcomes of the InternalBrace technique™ in this immersive three-part series. Leading sports medicine surgeons Bruce A. Levy, MD (Orlando, FL), is joined by Patrick A. Smith, MD (Naples, FL), to discuss Dr. Smith’s pioneering research into the InternalBrace technique in the knee.

In the first episode of the series, Dr. Smith and Dr. Levy discuss:

• The impetus behind Dr. Smith’s drive to validate use of the InternalBrace technique to lower ACL retear rates

• Early, unsuccessful ligament augmentation options, how the InternalBrace technique is different, and the safety research supporting its use

• The animal and translational models that supported Dr. Smith’s retear reduction rate hypothesis

• And more

^{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.}
