BONEZONE Spotlights Breakthrough InternalBrace Research in Young Athletes
A recent article in BONEZONE (September 23, 2025) has highlighted the growing body of research supporting the InternalBrace technique in reducing reinjury rates for young athletes in pivoting sports such as football, rugby, basketball and netball. With ACL tears among high school athletes increasing by more than 25% over the past 15 years, and re-tear…

Abstract: Introduction: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is among the most common knee proceduresin the United States, particularly in athletes who participate in cutting and pivoting sports. While bonepatellar tendon-bone (BTB) autografts have long been considered the gold standard for this group,drawbacks such as anterior knee pain and difficulty kneeling have prompted interest in quadriceps…

Abstract: Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with hamstring or patellar tendon autograft has been the gold standard for the operative treatment of an ACL rupture for many years. Repair with Internal Brace Ligament Augmentation (IBLA) is a new technique that uses ultra-high strength tape (FiberTape, Arthrex, Naples, FL, USA) to bridge the ligament…… Read…
