BTB ACL Reconstruction Using the BTB TightRope® SB Implant and the InternalBrace™ Technique
Walter R. Lowe, MD (Houston, TX), demonstrates a BTB ACL reconstruction using the BTB TightRope® SB implant and the InternalBrace™ technique. The FiberSnare® guidewire is used to shuttle the FiberTape® suture through the cannulation of the FastThread™ screw to allow for independent fixation of the FiberTape suture.
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-tobone fixation.
