Inside IBISG: Meet the International Faculty Advancing Internal Brace Research
Following the landmark inaugural Consensus Meeting of the Internal Brace International Study Group (IBISG) in Glasgow, a new film gives an opportunity to hear directly from some of the international experts helping to shape the group and its future. The Glasgow meeting brought the international faculty together to review the growing body of evidence surrounding…
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 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…
Read More[Application of internal brace ligament augmentation technology in repair and reconstruction of cruciate ligament injuries](01/26)
Abstract: Objective: To review the application progress of internal brace ligament augmentation (IBLA) technology in the repair and reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries, and to clarify the development trends of IBLA technology. Methods: A comprehensive review of recent domestic and international in vitro and in vivo biomechanical studies, animal experiments, and clinical research on…
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 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 MoreGracie Holmes: From ACL Rupture to Return to Football
At Mackay Clinic, we are proud to share patient stories that highlight recovery, rehabilitation, and return to sport. This film follows Gracie Holmes as she returns to football following an ACL rupture, documenting her experience of ACL internal brace surgery and the rehabilitation journey that supported her recovery. The video provides insight into both the…
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…
