Despite various proposed measurement techniques for assessing syndesmosis integrity, a standardized protocol is lacking, and the existing literature reports inconsistent findings regarding normal abnormal relationships between fibula tibia at distal level. Therefore, this study aims to present an overview of two- (2D) three-dimensional (3D) methods utilized evaluate integrity. A topical review ...

  Background: The importance of the syndesmosis in ankle stability is well recognized. Numerous means of fixation have been described for syndesmotic injuries including the suture button technique. Significant cost limits the use the commercially available options. We, therefore, designed a cheap and readily available alternative construct. We aim to assess the results of using a novel suture-...

BACKGROUND There has been no attempt to correlate the type and number of intra-articular lesions with the results of ligament reconstruction for chronic lateral ankle instability. HYPOTHESIS Certain intra-articular lesions affect the clinical outcome of ligament reconstruction. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS Sixty-five ankles from 64 patients underwent a modified ...

The level of complications after treatment patients with bone fractures stays high 22–60 %. Understanding ankle-foot joint biomechanics is critical for choosing trendy methods hybrid fixation or the traditional fibula plate and positional screw distal syndesmosis. Objective. To analyze effectiveness surgical unstable trans- suprasyndesmosis stable-elastic (HSEF) in comparison method a positioni...
