Acl Reconstruction with internal brace technique
What is internal brace technique
The internal brace stands as a landmark advancement in ligament and tendon repair or reconstruction in the last three decades. This breakthrough has transformed surgical results, empowering athletes at all levels to regain strength and return to sports activities quicker than with conventional fixation approaches.
Serving as a painless adjunct to any tendon or ligament repair, it offers vital safeguarding throughout the healing and remodeling stages post-surgery. This protection allows for immediate weight-bearing and mobilization after the procedure, a capability unmatched by traditional reconstruction methods.
Why the internal brace is better?
Internal brace repair methods harness the body’s innate recuperative and healing abilities. The prime window for optimal repair post-injury spans up to four weeks. Conducting surgery during this period enhances outcomes as the body is actively engaged in repairing and healing the injury. In contrast, traditional ligament reconstruction typically occurs six weeks post-injury, after the body’s repair phase has concluded. Internal brace technology allows for immediate surgery during the active repair phase, resulting in swifter and stronger ligament healing.
Thanks to internal brace technology, patients can mobilize and bear weight immediately after surgery, eliminating the need for prolonged immobilization and bed rest. This facilitates a speedier return to both work and sports activities.
Benefits of Internal Brace Surgery
ENHANCED REGENERATION AND HEALING: The InternalBrace and repair technique offers a markedly higher success rate than traditional surgery, reducing the risk of further joint injury while fostering superior regeneration and healing.
RAPID RETURN TO WORK AND SPORTS: Thanks to the unique attributes of InternalBracing, patients experience minimal functional loss and can resume work and sports activities significantly sooner.
THE PREMIER CHOICE: InternalBrace stands as the gold standard for ligament repair or reconstruction due to its exceptional effectiveness.
MITIGATING JOINT ARTHRITIS: Conventional reconstruction methods often carry a high risk of arthritis. By employing the InternalBrace technique, we aim to minimize this complication.
ENHANCED STRENGTH AND STABILITY: Integration of an InternalBrace ensures that post-surgery, the treated joint becomes stronger. This is attributed to the InternalBrace acting akin to an internal seatbelt, delivering continuous support and stability.
SWIFT & COST-EFFECTIVE: The InternalBrace technique is not only swifter than traditional reconstruction but also can lead to cost savings by facilitating a faster return to work.
