Background: Operative treatment is indicated for unstable syndesmosis injuries, and
approximately 20% of all ankle fractures require operative fixation for syndesmosis injuries …

Aims In a randomized controlled trial with two-year follow-up, patients treated with suture
button (SB) for acute syndesmotic injury had better outcomes than patients treated with …

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

Background and purpose—Better outcomes are reported for suture button (SB) compared
with syndesmotic screws (SS) in patients treated for an acute ankle syndesmotic injury. One …

Background To compare the efficacy between fixation with suture-button and screw in the
treatment of syndesmotic injuries: a meta-analysis. Methods We comprehensively searched …

Background: This study compared clinical and radiographic results between patients who
underwent stabilization of an acutely injured syndesmosis with a suture button (SB) and …

Background. While trans-syndesmotic fixation with metal screws is considered the gold
standard in treating syndesmotic injuries, controversy exists regarding the need and timing …

Background Ankle syndesmotic injuries can be surgically managed with syndesmosis
screws (SS) or suture button (SB) fixation. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized …

Background: Ankle syndesmotic injuries are complex and require anatomic reduction and
fixation to restore the normal biomechanics of the ankle joint and prevent long-term …
