ACL Injuries: Arthroscopic All-Inside ACL Reconstruction Using the GraftLink® and InternalBrace™ Techniques and TightRope® II Implant

Patrick A. Smith, MD (Naples, FL), performs a step-by-step walk-through of an all-inside ACL reconstruction using an all–soft-tissue graft. In this demonstration, Dr. Smith uses a hamstring graft in a GraftLink® construct, but this technique can be used with a quadriceps tendon in a QuadLink™ construct as well. Watch the hamstring graft preparation video here.

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.
