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 MoreAn Anatomic Single-Tendon Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction Technique With Suspensory Fixation and Internal Brace (08/25)
The role the posterolateral corner (PLC) plays in controlling varus and posterolateral rotatory laxity is crucial, especially in the setting of combined cruciate ligament injuries. PLC reconstruction is essential to restore knee laxity, helping to reduce the risk of cruciate ligament graft failure. The LaPrade technique is the most used anatomic PLC reconstruction technique; however,…
Read MoreMid-term outcomes of scapholunate ligament reconstruction with internal brace augmentation (12/25)
INTRODUCTION: Scapholunate ligament injury may cause carpal instability leading to pain, dysfunction and risk of scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) if untreated. Chronic dissociation is challenging to manage, with no clear reference standard reconstruction technique. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of scapholunate ligament reconstruction using an extensor carpi radialis brevis autograft and internal brace augmentation.…
Read MoreArthoBroström with Minimally Invasive Internal Brace®: Is It Reliable and Safe? A Prospective Study (12/25)
Abstract: Research Type Level 2 – Prospective comparative study, Meta-analysis of Level 2 studies or Level 1 studies with inconsistent results Introduction/Purpose The Arthrobrostrom with an internal brace has emerged as a promising surgical intervention for managing lateral ankle instability, a condition often resulting from recurrent ankle sprains and ligamentous laxity. This technique combines minimally…
Read MoreTiming and neurological recovery in metastatic spinal cord compression: short and long-term outcomes of the internal bracing technique
Abstract: Purpose: Spinal metastases, affecting up to 40% of cancer patients, often arise from lung, prostate, and breast cancers. Metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC) causes pain and neurological deficits, requiring timely surgical or radiotherapy interventions. This study evaluates neurological recovery after decompressive surgery and fixation using the “internal bracing” technique in patients with acute MSCC-related deficits,…
Read MoreDouble-bundle ACL and ALL reconstruction results in less femoral posterolateral bundle tunnel widening than outside-in double-bundle ACL reconstruction
Abstract: Purpose – To compare the clinical and radiological results of two double-bundle (DB) anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) techniques. DB ACLR and anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALLR) with internal brace (IB), and outside-in (OI) DB ACLR.Hypothesis. We hypothesized that DB ACLR and ALLR with IB wound yield less femoral tunnel, especially femoral posterolateral bundle tunnel…
Read MoreSternoclavicular Joint Reconstruction Using a Double Figure-of-8 Technique With Palmaris Longus Autograft Augmented by an Internal Brace: The Criss-Cross Technique
Abstract: Sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) dislocation is a rare injury that typically occurs following high-energy trauma. Posterior dislocation can lead to major injuries such as vascular, tracheal, and esophageal compression with potentially life-threatening issues. Reconstruction of the SCJ is indicated in locked posterior dislocation, failed conservative management with persistent symptomatic instability, and/or secondary scapular dyskinesia. Numerous…
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…
Read MoreInternal Brace research continues to bridge human and veterinary medicine
Professor Mackay was honored to be invited by the prestigious NoVOS board to present his latest research on the Internal Brace and its continuing advancement in veterinary orthopaedics. It is great to see the Internal Brace making significant strides in the treatment of animals as well. Nature had other plans though and this time the…
