Ankle sprains affect athletic populations at high rates. Athletes who suffer an ankle sprain
frequently go on to develop persistent symptoms, resulting in significant resources spent …

Ideal management of the various presentations of syndesmotic injury remains controversial
to this day. High quality evidentiary science on this topic is rare, and numerous existing …

Detection of syndesmotic ankle instability remains challenging in clinical practice due to the
limitations of two-dimensional (2D) measurements. The transition to automated three …

Background: Ankle sprains are among the most common injuries experienced by collegiate
athletes. The type of ankle sprain is rarely differentiated in epidemiological studies. This …

The tibiofibular syndesmosis is a fibrous joint essential for ankle stability, whence the
classical comparison with a mortise. Syndesmosis lesions are quite frequent in ankle …

Objective To this day, diagnostic standards and uniform definition for acute, isolated
syndesmotic injuries are missing. The aim of the current study was to conduct a systematic …

Objectives To evaluate time to return to play following surgical stabilisation of isolated
unstable syndesmosis injuries in a cohort of professional male football players. Methods All …

Forced external rotation is hypothesized as the key mechanism of syndesmotic ankle
injuries, inducing a three‐dimensional deviation from the normal distal tibiofibular joint …

Purpose Acute syndesmotic ankle injuries continue to impose a diagnostic dilemma and it
remains unclear whether weightbearing and/or external rotation should be added during the …

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