Foot and Ankle Fellowship Forum: Addressing Spring Ligament Attenuation—Surgical Pearls

The spring ligament may be at the root of many cases of flatfoot deformity. Anand Vora, MD (Chicago, IL), discusses his surgical tips and pearls for spring ligament reconstruction with the InternalBrace™ 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.
