Surgical Podiatry Symposium: Pearls for a Successful ATFL InternalBrace™ Ligament Augmentation

Michael Downey, DPM, FACFAS (Philadelphia, PA), shares his clinical experience with ATFL InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation. Anchor placement/orientation, tensioning, and more are discussed.

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.
