DX SwiveLock® SL Anchor Thumb Collateral Ligament Reconstruction

Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) tears of the thumb are common injuries. When the tear results in pain and instability, surgical repair offers a predictably successful outcome. Augmenting the reconstruction with SutureTape to create an InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation results in a strong construct that allows for early motion and limited postoperative immobilization.1
