What is the role of suture tape augmentation (InternalBrace) in modified Broström ankle ligament repair?

Doctor’s answer

The modified Broström procedure anatomically repairs the torn anterior talofibular ligament and retinaculum. Augmentation with high-strength suture tape provides supplemental mechanical protection across the repair site during biologic healing, which in selected protocols allows earlier protected range of motion and weight-bearing. Postoperative timelines are individualized based on tissue quality, concomitant pathology, and surgeon discretion.
