Purpose The aim of the cadaveric study was to determine the effects of an unstable ankle
fracture on the position of the fibula in the incisural notch and subsequently to evaluate the …

Purpose The aim of this study was to identify to what extent a dissection of the syndesmosis
and an avulsed posterior edge of the tibia can change the tibiofibular diastasis and fibular …

Thirty-two cases of ankle fractures associated with fibular fractures above the distal
tibiofibular syndesmosis were studied. All were treated with open reduction and internal …

Background: Diagnosis and reduction of syndesmosis injuries in ankle fractures can be
challenging. Previous studies have demonstrated that standard radiographic measurements …

Purpose To compare tibiofibular reduction quality in different types of operatively treated
ankle fractures and the impact on clinical and functional outcome at mid-term follow-up …

Background: The aim of the study was to examine the effect of the position of the plate and
syndesmotic screw on postoperative tibiofibular joint malreductions in cases where the …

The tibiofibular syndesmosis provides stability to the ankle mortise. The ankle syndesmosis
is compromised in all Weber C type injuries. The radiographic method described by Merle …

The distal tibiofibular syndesmosis (DTFS) is frequently injured during ankle trauma. The
sequelae can be significant, including chronic instability, early osteoarthritis and residual …

DISCUSSION Management of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis diastasis with or without
associated fracture remains controversial. The distal tibiofibular syndesmosis is the fibrous …

Background This cadaveric study aimed to investigate the role AITFL and PITFL have on
preventing talar shift in ankle fractures, as well as investigating the role of AITFL …
