Ankle fractures are the fourth most common fracture requiring surgical management. The
deltoid ligament is a primary ankle stabilizer against valgus forces. It is frequently ruptured in …

The present prospective study examined the utility of the intraoperative tap test/technique for
distal tibiofibular syndesmosis in the diagnosis of deltoid ligament rupture and compared the …

Background: The treatment of ankle fractures with syndesmotic injuries associated with
disruption of the deltoid ligament complex is controversial. The purpose of this study was to …

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

Background Deltoid ligament injuries are typically caused by supination-external rotation or
pronation injury. Numerous ligament reconstruction techniques have been proposed; …

Syndesmotic disruption occurs in more than 10% of ankle fractures. Operative treatment with
syndesmosis screw fixation has been successfully performed for decades and is considered …

Objective Ankle fractures are often combined with syndesmotic instability, requiring
reduction and stabilization. However, the optimal level for syndesmotic screw positioning …

Objectives: To compare the external rotation stability of 3 different syndesmotic stabilization
techniques in a cadaveric ankle fracture model. Methods: Nondestructive external rotation …

Objectives: Ankle fractures with a syndesmotic injury have historically been treated with
syndesmotic screw fixation. We compared range of motion and functional outcomes' scores …

Background: There is no consensus on the optimal treatment or preferred method of
operation for the management of acute deltoid ligament injuries during an ankle fracture …
