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 InternalBraceā„¢ 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.
