The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is the main restraining force in the first 20° of flexion against lateral patellar displacement and is disrupted after patellar subluxation or dislocation. MPFL reconstruction is frequently performed when conservative management fails and the patient has recurrent patellar dislocations. However, a variety of complications have been reported in the literature with this procedure. Internal bracing with suture tape augmentation encourages healing and allows early mobilization. This article describes, with video illustration, MPFL repair with suture tape augmentation.

Unlabelled: Chronic lateral ankle instability is a common diagnosis in foot and ankle clinics. Internal Brace (IB) augmentation is a surgical procedure that utilizes fibertape augmentation of the lateral ankle ligaments. Studies have shown the superiority of fibertape augmentation over traditional lateral ankle stabilization procedures such as the Brostrom or Brostrom-Gould.

Background And Aims: Interest in repairing ruptured anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) has resurged, with suture tape augmentation (internal brace, ACL-IB) emerging as a prominent technique. However, the efficacy of ACL-IB compared to ACL reconstruction (ACL-R) remains unclear. We conducted a meta-analysis to address this gap.

The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the strongest ligament of the knee and plays an important role in stabilizing the knee joint posteriorly. PCL tears are common injuries in sports injuries and traffic accidents; however, clinical outcomes after PCL reconstruction have not yet met clinicians' expectations, with a high postsurgery failure rate reported. Suture tape augmentation and supplementary fixation have shown ideal biomechanical properties in early studies.

This article aims to present a comprehensive technical note detailing our preferred treatment approach for tibial tuberosity avulsion fractures in the adult and elderly populations, particularly in scenarios characterized by low tissue quality and limited bone stock. Existing literature on this fracture type is scarce, with many described techniques relying on optimal bone quality for effective screw fixation of the tibial tuberosity. Various methods for tibial tuberosity avulsion fixation include K-wires, cannulated screws, staples, tension bands, suture anchors, and in select cases, direct transosseous sutures.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical properties of SutureTape as an alternative technique for arthrodesis of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint arthrodesis when compared with surgical steel wire.
Methods: A total of 32 fingers (index, long, ring, and small) from two matched pair cadaveric hands were used. K-wire and surgical steel wire were used for MCP and PIP joint arthrodesis of the control group (group I), whereas K-wire and SutureTape were used for the experimental group (group II).
