Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) Repair

Certain MCL injuries, including femoral and tibial avulsion injuries, such as Stener lesions, are more amenable to repair than others.¹
Using FiberTape® suture for the InternalBrace™ technique for MCL repair has been shown to provide additional stabilization compared to an MCL repair using only suture.² Adding the InternalBrace technique to an MCL repair may result in lower failure rates and less residual laxity post-op as well as shorter immobilization times and faster return to play.² FiberTape sutures have been used for more than 15 years in more than 4 million cases, including tendon and ligament-bridging repairs.
^{The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to support the primary repair and is not intended as a replacement for the standard of care using biologic augmentation in a primary repair. The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only for soft-tissue-to-bone fixation and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.
