Summary

The purpose of this study is to quantify 2-year postoperative clinical and functional outcomes including side-to-side differences in gait function, balance, proprioception and muscle strength in patients treated by ACL repair with Internal Brace Ligament Augmentation.

Detailed description

Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common injuries. In recent years, arthroscopic techniques have rapidly evolved with advanced tools such as suture anchors, resolvable pins and internal bracing techniques. One of the very latest developments in internal bracing and repair for proximal ACL ruptures is the InternalBraceTM (Arthrex Inc., Naples, Florida, USA). The purpose of this study is to quantify 2-year postoperative clinical and functional outcomes including side-to-side differences in gait function, balance, proprioception and muscle strength in patients treated by ACL repair with Internal Brace Ligament Augmentation.
