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

Objectives: To determine the accuracy of a technique for intraoperative assessment of
syndesmotic reduction in ankle fractures. Design: Prospective, case series. Setting …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare intraoperative stress radiography and
ankle arthroscopy in the evaluation of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis disruption in acute …

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 …

Background: The quality of reduction of the syndesmosis is an important factor in the
outcome of ankle fractures associated with a syndesmotic injury. The purpose of this study …

Previous studies have demonstrated the need for accurate reduction of ankle syndesmosis.
Measurement of syndesmosis is difficult on plain radiographs. A computed tomography (CT) …

Background: Acute unstable syndesmotic ankle injuries are treated primarily by reduction
and stabilization with a syndesmotic screw. Examination with fluoroscopy or standard …

The precise diagnosis of distal tibiofibular syndesmotic ligament injury is challenging and a
distinction should be made between syndesmotic ligament disruption and real syndesmotic …

Background: Failure to treat an injury of the syndesmosis after an ankle fracture can lead to
a poor functional outcome and posttraumatic arthritis. The results after reconstruction of an …

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 …
