BACKGROUND Acute injuries to the tibiofibular syndesmosis,often associated with high ankle sprains or malleolar fractures,require precise diagnosis and treatment to prevent long-term complications.This case report exp...
BACKGROUND Ankle syndesmosis injury is difficult to diagnose accurately at the initial visit.Missed diagnosis or improper treatment can lead to chronic complications.Complete syndesmosis injury with a concomitant rupt...
A stable and precise articulation of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis maintains the tibiofibular relationship,and it is essential for normal motion of the ankle joint.The disruption of this joint is frequently acco...
Ankle injuries are commonplace in the athletic population, with lateral ligamentsprains accounting for the majority of them. The medial ligament complex, thedistal tibiofibular syndesmosis as well as any of the bones ...
Ankle fractures are one of the most common injuries treated by orthopaedic surgeons. A minority of patients with ankle fractures go on to develop persistent pain following anatomical reduction. These sequelae may aris...
Reconstruction of unstable syndesmotic injuries is not trivial, and there is no generally accepted treatment guidelines. Thus, there still remain considerable controversies regarding diagnosis, classification and trea...
INTRODUCTIONDistal tibiofibular syndesmosis injuries are usually associated with ankle fractures, especially common in Denis B and C fractures. Syndesmosis is essential for stability of the ankle mortise that is requi...
The precise diagnosis of distal tibiofibular syndesmotic ligament injury is challenging and a distinction should be made between syndesmotic ligament disruption and real syndesmotic instability.This article summarizes...
Disruption of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis is frequently accompanied by rotational ankle fracture such as pronation-external rotation and rarely occurs without ankle fracture.In such injury,not only inadequatel...
