The InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation procedure with SwiveLock® anchors and FiberTape® suture is a reasonable alternative that may eliminate secondary hardware removal and provide a more attractive solution for patient comfort and overall cosmesis.
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.

UCL InternalBrace™ System

Child (D)

Procedure

Young overhead athletes who sustain an injury to their medial ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) complex, isolated to the proximal or distal end of the ligament and without chronic attritional damage, may benefit from a repair rather than a reconstruction procedure.1
