InternalBrace? Ligament Augmentation Repair - Product and Technique Highlights - LS1-0408-EN

Product catalog summary

Overview: The InternalBrace™ Ligament Augmentation Repair is designed to enhance the Brostrom procedure, applicable for both acute and chronic ankle sprains. It focuses on augmenting the repair of the native Anterior Talofibular Ligament (ATFL).

Kit Components: The InternalBrace Kit (AR-1678-CP) includes various SwiveLock anchors, FiberTape, needles, and a suture passing wire. The Reusable Instruments Tray (AR-1678S) contains drill bits, SwiveLock taps, a drill guide, and an AO handle.

Procedure Steps:

Preparation: Position the foot neutrally with slight eversion. Identify landmarks on the distal fibula and talus.
Talar Attachment: Drill into the non-articulating surface of the talus using a 3.4 mm drill, directed 45 degrees posteromedially.
Anchor Insertion: Tap the talar tunnel with a 4.75 mm SwiveLock Tap. Insert the SwiveLock anchor with FiberTape into the talar tunnel, ensuring not to over-tension.
Final Steps: Cut FiberTape tails and optionally suture the inferior extensor retinaculum to the fibula or capsule. Drill into the fibula with a 2.7 mm drill, tap with a 3.5 mm tap, and insert a 3.5 mm SwiveLock loaded with FiberTape.

Key Considerations: Ensure proper alignment and tensioning to avoid compromising anchor fixation. Check the range of motion before inserting the second anchor.
