Anand Vora, MD (Chicago, IL), highlights the surgical technique for flatfoot reconstruction with a flexor digitorum longus (FDL) tendon transfer and spring ligament repair with the InternalBrace™ procedure.
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.
