In an exclusive segment, NBC 26 News in Green Bay, Wisconsin, revisited its coverage of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in young female athletes, spotlighting the journey of two local high school basketball players. Their stories touch on the emotional and physical challenges of recovery, and highlight Arthrex’s innovative approach to ACL surgery.
Kevin Shepet, MD (Green Bay, WI), used the QuadLink™ BioACL™ procedure with the InternalBrace™ technique on both athletes. This procedure combines platelet rich plasma (PRP), harvested bone and other biologic components placed at the surgical site to augment an ACL reconstruction. The InternalBrace technique, also known as "suture tape augmentation," uses a high-strength tape suture to protect an ACL repair or reconstruction during the postoperative rehabilitation period.
