AITFL Repair With InternalBrace™ Ligament Augmentation Procedure in a Weber C Ankle Fracture

Justin Fleming, DPM (Philadelphia, PA), uses the titanium distal fibular plate with the InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation procedure and the knotless TightRope^® implant for a Weber C fracture with syndesmosis disruption. Dr. Fleming highlights the eyelets that allow for addition of the AITFL InternalBrace ligament augmentation repair for increased stability of the anterior syndesmosis.

^{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.}
