The FDL Implant System is used for posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. Arthrex has developed the Tenodesis Tension-Slide Technique for FDL tendon transfer. The flexor digitorum longus tendon is traced to the master knot of Henry and harvested. It is then transferred to the navicular and stabilized with the DX button on the dorsal cortex as well as with a Tenodesis screw for aperture fixation. This procedure can be done in conjunction with the InternalBrace™ spring ligament augmentation.

Brostrom repair with the InternalBrace™ procedure provides additional fixation of the repaired ligament backdown to bone during the healing process, allowing early mobility during recovery and a quicker return to activity.1 The InternalBrace 2.0 surgical technique provides surgical versatility with added size and material options. It comes with a talus offset guide that allows for reproducible anatomic placement of the talus SwiveLock® anchor. Surgeons can drill, tap, and implant the SwiveLock anchor through the guide. The InternalBrace technique allows the surgeon to support the primary Brostrom repair of soft tissue to bone for lateral or medial ankle instability repair and can be used for chronic ankle injuries and revisions.

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.

InternalBrace™ Technique for Brostrom Repair

Arthrex has developed a simple, safe, and reproducible technique using the BioComposite SwiveLock® and FiberTape®. InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation repair can be used to augment to a Broström procedure. InternalBrace ligament augmentation repair allows the surgeon to correct lateral or medial ankle instability. It can be used in acute and chronic ankle sprains.
