Hand and Wrist Fellowship Forum: Thumb UCL Reconstruction

Edward L. Birdsong, MD (Pittsburgh, PA), discusses thumb ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction.

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.
