Medial column (deltoid ligament) integrity is of key importance when considering the stability
of isolated lateral malleolus ankle fractures. Weight-bearing radiographs are the best …

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 …

Objective Owing to the shortcomings of clinical examination and radiographs, injury to the
syndesmotic ligaments is often misdiagnosed. When there is no indication requiring that the …

Stable fractures of the ankle can be safely treated non-operatively. It is also gradually being
recognised that the integrity of the 'medial column'is essential for the stability of the fracture …

OBJECTIVE: Fixation of ankle fractures in elderly patients is associated with reduced
stability conditioned by osteoporotic bone. Therefore, fixation with implants providing …

Background: Ligamentous injuries to the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis are predictive of
long-term ankle dysfunction. Mild and moderate syndesmotic injuries are difficult to stratify …

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 Patients with stable isolated injuries of the ankle syndesmosis can be treated
conservatively, while unstable injuries require surgical stabilisation. Although evaluating …
