A stable and precise articulation of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis maintains the
tibiofibular relationship, and it is essential for normal motion of the ankle joint. The disruption …

The syndesmosis is important for ankle stability and load transmission and is commonly
injured in association with ankle sprains and fractures. Syndesmotic disruption is associated …

The incidence of isolated distal tibiofibular syndesmotic ruptures in acute ankle sprains lies
between 1% and 11%. These injuries are frequently overseen or misdiagnosed as …

The distal tibiofibular syndesmosis (DTFS) is more frequently injured than previously
thought. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment is essential to avoid long term …

Disruption of the distal tibiofibular joint (DTFJ) or ankle syndesmosis occurs through an
external rotation mechanism of injury. This is most commonly associated with Weber C …

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

Up to 10% of ankle sprains are considered “high ankle” sprains with associated syndesmotic
injury. Initial diagnosis of syndesmotic injury is based on physical examination, but further …

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 …

A stable and precise articulation of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis is essential for normal
motion of the ankle joint. Injury to the syndesmosis occurs through rupture or bony avulsion …

Injuries to the tibioperoneal syndesmosis are more frequent than previously thought and
their treatment is essential for the stability of the ankle mortise. Recognition of these lesions …
