Determining the Tightrope Tightening Force for Effective Fixation of the Tibiofibular Syndesmosis during Osteomeatal Synthesis of Fibula Injuries

The issue of choosing the method for optimal surgical treatment a broken fibula has been debatable many years. At same time, concomitant repair tibiofibular syndesmosis injuries does not have unified approach. It determined that osteosynthesis shin bones with injury should combine stable fixation bone and limit elastic properties syndesmosis. In case fibula, it is recommended to use extracortical fixator an connection using tightrope. An analytical model which blocked metal plate elastically fixed tightrope, developed. research object stress–strain state “broken fibula–extracortical titanium plate” composition under action tightrope tightening fixation. main result dependence, makes possible determine permissible value force results tested numerically, influence parameters plate, damage localization on analyzed. By rational stable–elastic shin, reduce time before start loading injured extremity accelerate functional recovery patient.
