Michael Alaia, MD, demonstrates a posterolateral corner (PLC) reconstruction using Collateral Ligament FiberTag® TightRope® implants with the InternalBrace™ technique. The new Collateral Ligament FiberTag TightRope implants were optimized for extra-articular knee ligament procedures by using a new, smaller FiberTag implant and atraumatic tapered needles for graft preparation.

*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.

Last week, the immersive series Reinforcing Outcomes: The Research Pyramid of the InternalBrace™ Technique in ACLR was released.

In this comprehensive rundown, Dr. Bruce A. Levy, MD, is joined by Patrick Smith, MD, to discuss Dr. Smith’s pioneering research into the #Arthrex InternalBrace technique in the knee.

[Arthrex MedEd @ArthrexMedEd]

In the final episode of this three-part series, Bruce A. Levy, MD, and Patrick A. Smith, MD, provide a comprehensive summary of peer-reviewed, published clinical research documenting significantly reduced graft retear rates with the InternalBrace™ technique, including:

▪️ Clinical outcome data from hundreds of young, high-risk ACL reconstruction patients, specifically examining the effects among those treated using hamstring, bone-tendonbone, and quadriceps tendon autografts

▪️ Why conducting clinical research in young, higher-risk athletic patients was so essential to Dr. Smith’s work

▪️ A step-by-step technique walk-through and the importance of independent SutureTape fixation

In the second episode of this three-part series, Bruce A. Levy, MD, and Patrick A. Smith, MD, explore the peer-reviewed, published biomechanical research evaluating the concept of load sharing and how the InternalBrace™ technique impacts displacement, load, and stiffness for different graft sizes and types, including:

▪️ Biomechanical features of FiberTape® suture

▪️ The importance of independent fixation to create a load-sharing construct to avoid stress shielding

▪️ Dr. Smith’s first biomechanical model, in which he explored how adding the InternalBrace technique impacts displacement as compared to grafts alone

Dive into a decade of peer-reviewed scientific literature and proven outcomes of the InternalBrace technique™ in this immersive three-part series. Leading sports medicine surgeons Bruce A. Levy, MD, is joined by Patrick A. Smith, MD, to discuss Dr. Smith’s pioneering research into the InternalBrace technique in the knee.

In the first episode of the series, Dr. Smith and Dr. Levy discuss:

▪️ The impetus behind Dr. Smith’s drive to validate use of the InternalBrace technique to lower ACL retear rates

▪️ Early, unsuccessful ligament augmentation options, how the InternalBrace technique is different, and the safety research supporting its use

▪️ The animal and translational models that supported Dr. Smith’s retear reduction rate hypothesis

▪️ And more

A recently published article in the Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine (OJSM) found that #Arthrex Knee FiberTak® all-suture anchors for onlay fixation in MPFL reconstruction require less bone removal than traditional techniques, potentially reducing the risk of patellar fracture and minimizing fixation complexity.
