Background: In stress-positive, unstable supination–external rotation type 4 (SER IV) ankle
fractures, implant selection for syndesmotic fixation is a debated topic. Among the available …

Background Ankle dislocation without fracture is rare. We used electronic hospital records to
determine the incidence of pure ankle dislocation and performed a systematic review of the …

Background The primary aim of this study was to present the incidence of clinically
significant end stage osteoarthritis (cOA) after syndesmotic fixation of ankle fractures. The …

Background: Computed tomography (CT) imaging has traditionally been considered the
gold standard for evaluation of syndesmostic reduction, but there is no uniformly accepted …

Traumatic injuries to the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis commonly result from high-energy
ankle injuries. They can occur as isolated ligamentous injuries and can be associated with …

Background and objective Revealing the complexity behind subject-specific ankle joint
mechanics requires simultaneous analysis of three-dimensional bony and soft-tissue …

Background: The goal of this study was to objectively assess if rotational or translational
syndesmotic malreduction is associated with certain syndesmotic morphologies. Prior …

Background: The anatomy of the syndesmosis is variable, yet little is known on the
correlation between differences in anatomy and syndesmosis reduction results. The aim of …

Injuries to the tibio-fibular syndesmotic ligaments are different than ankle collateral ligament
injuries and occur in isolation or combination with malleolar fractures. Syndesmotic ligament …

Ankle fractures accompanied by syndesmotic rupture are a complex challenge for
orthopedic surgeons. Sufficient reduction and stabilization of the syndesmosis are important …
