The article “Repair and Augmentation with Internal Brace in the Multiligament Injured Knee” discusses the innovative use of internal brace technology to enhance ligament repair in knees with multiple ligament injuries. This technique employs braided ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene suture tape and knotless bone anchors to reinforce repaired ligaments, facilitating early mobilization during the initial healing phase. The internal brace approach is applicable to various ligament injuries, including those of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), anterolateral ligament (ALL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), posteromedial corner (PMC), and posterolateral corner (PLC). Recent studies indicate that ligament repair augmented with internal bracing yields outcomes comparable to traditional reconstruction methods. This technique offers a promising alternative for managing complex knee injuries, potentially leading to improved patient recovery and joint stability.
