Abstract

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction augmentation continues to be widely studied. Both biologic and synthetic augments have been employed to enhance ACL healing and provide early protection. The BioBrace is a biocomposite scaffold that both mechanically reinforces the graft while biologically enhancing graft healing. The purpose of this article is to describe augmentation of an ACL reconstruction with BioBrace.
