Ulnar Collateral Ligament Repair and Reconstruction
Ulnar Collateral Ligament Repair and Reconstruction
At the Orthopedic Technology and Innovation Forum (OTIF), Christopher Ahmad, MD (New York, NY), discusses his technique for UCL repair and UCL reconstruction with the InternalBrace⢠ligament augmentation technique, sharing technical pearls for each procedure.
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.
