The resurgence of direct syndesmosis repair has attempted to address the shortcomings of
syndesmosis screw fixation and isolated suture-button constructs. Biomechanically, ligament …

Background This study compared clinical and radiographic results of patients who
underwent stabilization of syndesmosis with one tricortical syndesmotic screw divided into …

Background: Posttraumatic osteonecrosis (ON) of the lateral distal tibia is a rare but severe
complication of malleolar fractures. Treatment options include ankle fusion, arthroplasty …

Without clear reference, the precision of syndesmotic screw placement cannot be
guaranteed and malposition of these screws leads to poor results. Therefore, to prevent …

Introduction The aim of this study is to assess the risk of peroneal artery injury of hardware
placement at the fixation of syndesmotic injuries. Materials and methods The lower extremity …

Background: The purpose of this study was to identify characteristic patterns of syndesmotic
screw (SS) failure, and any effects on clinical outcome. Methods: A retrospective study was …

Background: The optimal surgical management of syndesmosis injuries consists of internal
fixation between the distal fibula and tibia. Much of the available data on this joint details the …

Introduction The syndesmosis is a dynamic stabilizer of the ankle and consists of 5
individual ligaments. In up to 20% of operatively treated ankle fractures the syndesmosis …

The posterior malleolus of the tibia is commonly accessed surgically through the
posterolateral approach. This approach gives good access to the fibula and lateral aspect of …

The stability of the syndesmotic joint between the distal tibia and fibula is mostly maintained
by the ligaments between these two joints, rather than the bony structures. This joint is held …
