ACL Backup Fixation System

The ACL Backup Fixation System includes the implants and instruments needed to back up the fixation sutures of an ACL graft or the InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation of an ACL reconstruction or primary repair. The kit contains a 4.75 mm SwiveLock® implant, as well as a spade-tipped drill and disposable tap. Strong tibial fixation, an important factor in successful ACL reconstructions, is reliable and reproducible with the ACL Backup Fixation System.

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.
