[InternalBrace ACL Repair - First Experiences and Outcomes].

CONCLUSIONS Anterior cruciate ligament suture with the InternalBrace ligament augmentation judging from the results achieved by our group of patients brings very good clinical outcomes already at 6 months postoperatively. This method allows the athletes to return to full load soon. It maintains the kinematics and knee joint proprioception, and thus can potentially contribute to the prevention of post-traumatic arthritis. Strict application of indication criteria is a precondition to success. A longer follow up and evaluation of a larger number of patients will, however, be necessary to definitely confirm the success of this surgical technique. Key words: arthroscopy, ACL rupture, ACL repair, InternalBrace, clinical evaluation. PMID: 31941570 [PubMed - in process]
