Abstract Treatment of athletes with ligamentous injuries of the tibiofibular syndesmosis can
be problematic. The paucity of historic data on this topic has resulted in a lack of clear …

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 …

Background: Biomechanical studies have shown that synthetic turf surfaces do not release
cleats as readily as natural turf, and it has been hypothesized that concomitant increased …

Background: There are little data on the incidence and patterns of injuries seen on magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) in acute inversion ankle sprains. This study may help in the …

Single, double, and triple hindfoot arthrodeses are used to correct hindfoot deformities and
relieve chronic pain. However, joint fusion may lead to dysfunction in adjacent articular …

Background: Forced external rotation of the foot is a mechanism of ankle injuries. Clinical
observations include combinations of ligament and osseous injuries, with unclear links …

Background Syndesmosis measurments and indices have been controversial and showed
interindividual variability. The purpose of this study was to analyze, by conventional axial …

Background Currently, there is no available method that can objectively and reliably detect
subtle instability of the distal tibiofibular joint. The purpose of this study is to diagnose, using …

Lower limb injuries caused by under-foot impacts often appear in sport landing, automobile
collision, and antivehicular landmine blasts. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a foot …

The use of computational modeling to predict injury mechanisms and severity has recently
been investigated, but few models report failure level ligament strains. The hypothesis of the …
