Read MorePatient Returns to the Pitch After ACL Injury
The team at the The Mackay Clinic is delighted to see a former patient, Daisy Wilson back on the football pitch following ACL injury. After sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture, she underwent ACL Internal Brace surgery, with additional augmentation of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) for stability. Following her recovery and rehabilitation, it’s fantastic…

Read MoreOutcomes After Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Suture Tape Augmentation and an Accelerated Rehabilitation Protocol: A Retrospective Cohort Study (02/25)
Abstract/Background: Although posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction is often performed for grade 3 PCL injuries, the effectiveness of different surgical techniques and rehabilitation protocols is a topic of debate. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare functional outcomes and residual instability in patients who underwent PCL reconstruction with versus without suture…
Read MoreThe Modified Broström Procedure with Suture-Tape Augmentation for Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability (03/25)
Background/Objectives: As a representative anatomic ankle ligament repair technique, the Broström procedure continues to be modified to reach better clinical outcomes, superior mechanical stability, early rehabilitation, and minimal risk of recurrent instability. This study aimed to evaluate the intermediate-term clinical outcomes after the modified Broström procedure (MBP) with suture-tape augmentation for chronic lateral ankle instability.…
Read MoreApplication of internal brace ligament augmentation technique in knee ligament injury: a systematic review (09/25)
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 MoreArthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair With Double-Bundle Suture Tape Augmentation for Large and Massive Tears (07/25)
Abstract: Advancements in arthroscopic techniques have improved the management of large and massive rotator cuff tears, but the failure rate remains high. Nonabsorbable high-strength suture tape is widely used in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and lateral ankle ligament repair to enhance the biomechanical strength of graft and ligament, thereby helping to reduce the risk of…
