Complications of syndesmotic screw removal.
BACKGROUND Currently, the metallic syndesmotic screw is the gold standard in the treatment of syndesmotic disruption. Whether or not this screw needs to be removed remains debatable. The aim of the current study was to determine the complications which occur following routine removal of the syndesmotic screw following operative treatment of unstable ankle fractures. METHODS This was a retrosp...
متن کاملSupination-external rotation ankle fractures: analysis of clinical results after syndesmotic screw removal☆
Objective To evaluate the postoperative results of patients with supination-external rotation ankle fractures who underwent syndesmotic screw (SS) removal. Methods Retrospective cohort study assessing the late postoperative results of 35 patients operated from January 2013 to June 2015. Patients undergoing treatment of rupture of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis with SS fixation and who di...
متن کاملAftercare following syndesmotic screw placement: a systematic review.
For ankle fractures, in general, several studies have been published on immobilization (e.g., cast or boot) versus early motion after surgical treatment. However, no studies have been performed to determine the best aftercare strategy for surgically treated patients with ankle fractures with concomitant acute distal tibiofibular syndesmotic injuries. The aim of the present review was to compare...
متن کاملRoutine versus on demand removal of the syndesmotic screw; a protocol for an international randomised controlled trial (RODEO-trial)
BACKGROUND Syndesmotic injuries are common and their incidence is rising. In case of surgical fixation of the syndesmosis a metal syndesmotic screw is used most often. It is however unclear whether this screw needs to be removed routinely after the syndesmosis has healed. Traditionally the screw is removed after six to 12 weeks as it is thought to hamper ankle functional and to be a source of p...
متن کاملBiomechanical Comparison of Distal Tibiofibular Syndesmotic Joint Fixation: Novel Suture Construct versus Metallic Screw Construct in Syndesmotic Injury Model
INTRODUCTION: Syndesmotic injuries of the ankle commonly occur via an external rotation force applied to the ankle joint. The effects of rigid or non-rigid fixation of the syndesmotic injury can be assessed by evaluating the three-dimensional kinematics behavior of tibiofibular diastasis. The specific aims of this study were: 1) to determine the physiological range of motion of the distal tibio...
