C. Thomas Haytmanek, Jr, MD (Vail, CO), provides an updated and in-depth look at the anatomy and biomechanics of the deltoid ligament and the role of acute repair in traumatic injury.
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.
