The Internal Brace (IB) is an ultra-high strength 2mm wide polyethylene tape (FiberTape, Arthrex, Naples, FL) that bridges the repaired ACL, from tibia to femur.13 This technique protects the ligament during the healing and remodelling phase, acting as a secondary stabilizer once the ligament is healed.13 The femoral fixation of the IB uses a button, and a knotless bone anchor is utilized on the tibial end; in addition to anatomical repair of the ACL.13 The ligament is encouraged to heal naturally, while not requiring any external braces.

Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a common musculoskeletal-related condition that is characterized by insidious onset of poorly defined pain, localized to the anterior retropatellar and/or peripatellar region of the knee. The effects of concomitant injuries and their effects on rehabilitation have been discussed. If the patient does not have access to a reformer or leg press, controlled wall squats can be used.
