This research study will evaluate mid-term clinical safety and performance outcomes of the BioBrace® Reinforced Implant when used to augment a tissue graft during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
This is a multi-center, single arm, open label registry investigating anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) procedures where the tissue graft is augmented with BioBrace®. Subjects meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled retrospectively or prospectively. Clinical evaluations will be conducted at baseline (pre-operatively) and at 6 months, 1-, 2-, and 3-years post-operatively using various patient-reported outcome measures to assess pain, function, return to activity, and safety post-surgery.

| Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with BioBrace® augmentation | Device | An arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) will be performed and the tissue graft will be augmented with the BioBrace® Reinforced Implant. BioBrace® is intended for use in surgical procedures for reinforcement of soft tissue where weakness exists. It is a bioresorbable, biocomposite scaffold composed of a highly porous collagen sponge and reinforced with poly-L-lactic-acid (PLLA). When used in ACLRs, it is sutured alongside the tissue graft to augment and reinforce the graft construct. BioBrace® is designed to mechanically and biologically augment weakened or torn soft tissue and can be integrated into surgeons' standard of care ACL reconstruction techniques. |
