Lateral ankle ligament stabilization procedures are well described in the orthopaedic literature. Although success rates are high, the incidence of recurrent instability is well documented. In addition, with standard rehabilitation protocols, the timeline to return to sport and functional activities may be prolonged. The InternalBrace Ligament Augmentation Repair is a safe and reproducible technique using FiberTapeĀ® and BioComposite SwiveLockĀ® as an augmentation to a Brostrom procedure. The InternalBrace Ligament Augmentation repair consists of a FiberTape bridge between two Knotless Swivelock anchors providing a protective reinforcement and allows the surgeon to repair lateral or medial ankle instability and the pain associated with it. This type of repair can be utilized in acute and chronic ankle sprains.
