Endoscopic Distal Tibiofibular Syndesmosis Arthrodesis
Chronic distal tibiofibular syndesmosis disruption can be managed by endoscopic arthrodesis of the syndesmosis. This is performed through the proximal anterolateral and posterolateral portals. The scar tissue and bone block are resected to facilitate the

Arthroscopically Assisted Reduction of Sagittal-Plane Disruption of Distal Tibiofibular Syndesmosis
Injuries to the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis can occur in conjunction with ankle fractures. Sagittal instability of the syndesmosis is more critical than coronal instability and must be taken into account when considering reduction and fixation of the

Instability of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis
The distal tibiofibular syndesmosis (DTFS) is more frequently injured than previously thought. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment is essential to avoid long term complications like chronic instability, early osteoarthritis and residual pain. Management of these injuries require a complete understanding of the anatomy of DTFS, and the role played

Tibioperoneal syndesmosis: diagnosis, fixation methods and arthroscopy
Introduction: tibioperoneal syndesmosis injuries are frequent both in isolation or associated with posterior malleolus fractures. Clinical diagnosis is confirmed on imaging studies. Fixation methods might be rigid or dynamic as well. Objective: provide

Ankle fractures with syndesmosis disruption present a challenge for foot and ankle surgeons. After open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), conventional postoperative treatment requires a period of immobilization and non-weightbearing, which if prolonged,

What is the frequency of anterior syndesmosis injury in posterior malleolus fracture?
Background Posterior malleolus fractures may be fixed to restore syndesmosis stability. However, these fractures are often accompanied by ruptures of other ligaments that stabilize the syndesmosis.
