New Internal Brace Research Papers Added to Our Online Library
We’re pleased to share that we’ve added a new tranche of recently published Internal Brace research papers to the Mackay Clinic research library. The aim of this page is simple: to bring together Internal Brace research from around the world in one easy-to-access place. While you’ll find several studies led by Professor Mackay, the library…
Read MoreCOMPARISON OF OUTCOMES OF ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT RECONCSTRUCTION WITH VERSUS WITHOUT INTERNAL BRACE (07/25)
Abstract: Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are common orthopedic injuries that significantly impair knee function. Although arthroscopic ACL reconstruction is the gold standard treatment, residual rotational instability remains a concern. Recently, internal brace (IB) augmentation has been introduced to enhance mechanical support and improve functional recovery. Objective: To evaluate the functional outcomes of ACL…
Read MoreSuture-augmented anterior cruciate ligament repair leads to comparable short-term function but a modestly higher re-rupture risk than anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract: Purpose: The aim of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis of the current literature on the treatment of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture with suture-augmented ACL repair (SA-ACLRep) compared to the gold standard ACL reconstruction (ACLR). The meta-analysis was designed to provide clinical outcomes, including re-rupture rates (as primary end point), knee stability, functional…
Read MoreShort graft, short tunnel ACL reconstruction with single hamstring and internal brace leads to comparable outcomes to conventional double hamstring technique: A retrospective study
Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of our study was to compare (1) ACL graft healing, (2) patient-reported outcome, and (3) complications after short graft (length < 65 mm), short tunnel (femoral tunnel < 20 mm) single hamstring ACL reconstruction with an internal brace (SGST-ACLR) technique and double hamstring autograft conventional ACL reconstruction (CON-ACLR) technique at minimum 2-year…
Read MoreQuadriceps Tendon Autograft Anterior CruciateLigament (ACL) Reconstruction With InternalBrace Augmentation: A Case Series
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…
Read MoreApplication of internal brace ligament augmentation technique in knee ligament injury: a systematic review
Abstract: Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common and can lead to significant knee instability and an increased risk of long-term cartilage damage. Given the emerging role of internal brace ligament augmentation (IBLA) in treating these injuries, this systematic review aimed to evaluate the collective evidence on the safety and effectiveness of IBLA in patients…
Read MoreInternal brace augmentation in ACL reconstruction increases structural strength and stiffness: a biomechanical study in a porcine tibia model
Abstract: This study was to compare the biomechanical outcomes of three ACL graft tibial fixations. Biomechanical testing was performed on 36 fresh porcine tibias and flexor profundus tendon divided into three groups: interference screw group (n = 12), internal brace group (n = 12) and combined group (n = 12). The samples underwent cyclic loading…

Abstract: The aim of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis of the current literature on the treatment of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture with suture-augmented ACL repair (SA-ACLRep) compared to the gold standard ACL reconstruction (ACLR). The meta-analysis was designed to provide clinical outcomes, including re-rupture rates (as primary end point), knee stability, functional…
Read MoreRevision ACL Reconstruction with Hamstring Autograft from the Contralateral Leg With and Without Internal Brace: A Comparative Study
Abstract: Revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction remains a clinical challenge, with high failure rates compared to primary procedures. The use of an internal brace (IB) as augmentation has been proposed to enhance stability and improve functional outcomes.1 The purpose of this article is to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of revision ACL reconstruction…
Read MoreAnterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Augmentation With Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate, Demineralized Bone Matrix, and Suture Tape Shows No Difference in Outcomes-But Faster Functional Recovery-Versus Non-augmented Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Sep 24
Abstract; Purpose: To compare outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), demineralized bone matrix (DBM), and suture tape augmentation (STA) versus ACLR without biological augmentation or STA. Read paper online
