dc.description.abstractIntroduction: The medial collateral ligament (MCL), a primary stabilizer against valgus forces, often requires surgical intervention in severe injuries, especially when associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. However, MCL repair or reconstruction is typically reserved for patients who continue to experience persistent valgus instability after nonoperative management has failed. The use of synthetic and biological implants is increasingly popular to augment these procedures, providing both biomechanical reinforcement and promoting natural healing. BioBrace, a biocomposite of collagen and bioabsorbable microfilaments, provides structural support and enhances tissue healing. This article explores the surgical treatment of high-grade medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries of the knee using BioBrace augmentation through a case series. Methods: Cohort of patients who underwent MCL repair surgery with a bioinductive membrane augmentation (BioBrace) between December 2023 and February 2024. This article presents surgical techniques, indications, and clinical outcomes from a case series, highlighting the benefits of BioBrace augmentation in improving stability and functional recovery. Results: A total of 4 patients underwent MCL repair surgery with BioBrace. Results show that patients experienced reduced instability, faster rehabilitation, and favorable outcomes without significant postoperative complications. Conclusion: This method offers a promising alternative for patients with complex knee injuries, especially athletes, by facilitating early rehabilitation and improving joint stability. Further research is recommended to evaluate long-term efficacy and optimize the surgical approach.
