Purpose The present study aimed to determine the most common surgical errors resulting in
early re-operation following ankle fracture surgery. Methods We performed a chart review to …

Background: Diagnosis and operative treatment of syndesmotic ankle injuries remain
challenging due to the limitations of 2-dimensional imaging. The aim of this study was …

Ankle fractures are among the most common fracture types, and 10% of all ankle fractures
lead to accessory syndesmotic injury. An injury that is challenging in every respect is …

Background: Syndesmotic malreduction and fractures of the posterior malleolus negatively
influence outcomes of rotational ankle fractures. Recent data have shown that posterior …

Introduction Much of the currently available data on the technical aspects of syndesmotic
screw placement are based upon biomechanical studies, using cadaveric legs with different …

Objectives: The aim of our study was to assess the intersubject and intrasubject variations of
distal tibiofibular syndesmosis on computed tomography (CT) scans and to define …

Aims The aim of this study was to investigate whether on-demand removal (ODR) is
noninferior to routine removal (RR) of syndesmotic screws regarding functional outcome …

Background: Unstable ankle fractures with syndesmotic injuries commonly occur and can
result in significant morbidity. Although the need for an anatomic reduction is clear, there is …

Background: Suture-button constructs are an alternative to screw fixation for syndesmotic
injuries, and proponents advocate that suture-button constructs may allow physiological …

Objectives: To determine whether the position of the medial clamp tine during syndesmotic
reduction affected reduction accuracy. Design: Prospective cohort. Setting: Urban Level 1 …
