Surgical Techniques for the Management of Thumb Ulnar and Radial Collateral Ligament Injuries
Surgical Techniques for the Management of Thumb Ulnar and Radial Collateral Ligament Injuries
At the Hand, Wrist, and Elbow Master Class: Complex Traumatic Hand course, Steven J. Lee, MD (New York, NY), discusses surgical techniques for the repair of thumb UCL and RCL injuries, highlighting the relevance of InternalBrace⢠ligament augmentation procedures.
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.
