Three-dimensional motions of distal syndesmosis during walking

, 2015
Introduction: The motion of the distal syndesmosis correlates highly with the instability, while an accurate kinematic description of the distal tibiofibular joint during normal gait has not previously been presented. Material and methods Sixteen healthy

Lateral Plate Versus Isolated Lag Screw Fixation of Unstable Distal Fibula Fractures: A Systematic Review

Advances in Orthopedics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Lateral plate fixation, the current standard for fixation of unstable distal fibular fractures, can compromise the minimal soft tissue envelope resulting in poorer postoperative outcomes. Isolated lag screw fixation represents a novel method of distal fibula fixation. Methods Two independent reviewers conducted a literature search of PubMed,

Functional outcome of fusion versus ligament reconstruction in patients with a syndesmosis injury: A narrative review

, 2021
Injury to distal tibiofibular syndesmosis is commonly associated with ankle fractures. The surgical treatment especially in isolated chronic syndesmosis instability is still debated. This article has reviewed literature identified from PubMed, EMBASE and

Achilles Allograft Reconstruction for Ankle Multiligament Injuries in a Patient Presenting With Rotational Ankle Instability: A Surgical Technique

Case Reports in Surgery, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The ankle comprises two main ligamentous complexes: the medial and lateral complex. In cases of chronic ankle instability following a sprain involving both complexes, rotational ankle instability can develop. We introduce a 25‐year‐old male with rotational ankle instability who reported having 20 episodes of “giving away” over the 6 months following an

Management of acute injuries of the tibiofibular syndesmosis

, 2017
The syndesmosis is important for ankle stability and load transmission and is commonly injured in association with ankle sprains and fractures. Syndesmotic disruption is associated with between 5 and 10% of ankle sprains and 11-20% of operative ankle ...

Comparison of Short‐Term Efficacy Between Arthroscopic Broström Repair With and Without Suture Tape Augmentation for Acute Anterior Talofibular Ligament Tears

International Journal of Clinical Practice, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Acute anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) tears frequently cause chronic ankle instability (CAI). Arthroscopic Broström repair (ABR) is effective, but outcomes may be inferior in cases with poor tissue quality. Suture tape (ST) augmentation has been introduced to improve biomechanical stability, especially for compromised tissue.

Effect of Distal Tibiofibular Destabilization and Syndesmosis Compression on the Flexibility Kinematics of the Ankle Bones: An In Vitro Human Cadaveric Model

Foot & Ankle Orthopaedics
Background: Overcompression of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis during open reduction and internal fixation of ankle fracture may affect multidirectional flexibility of the ankle bones.

Assessing Rotational Ankle Instability Through Postural Control Testing: Coronal Instability Outperforms Conventional Imaging

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 18, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Deltoid ligament (DL) injuries are increasingly recognized in chronic ankle instability (CAI), drawing clinical attention to rotational ankle instability (RAI). Cadaveric studies have shown that RAI can increase ankle rotation; however, current examination methods for RAI remain limited. As they neither provide adequate insight into

Mechanical considerations for the syndesmosis screw. A cadaver study

, 1989
The purpose of this study was to examine the mechanical necessity of using a syndesmosis screw to supplement rigid internal fixation of the fibula and medial malleolus in the treatment of pronation-external rotation fractures. The legs of thirty embalmed

Ankle syndesmosis repair and rehabilitation in professional rugby league players: a case series report. [PDF]

, 2017
The distal tibiofibular joint is described as a syndesmosis. Traditionally, severe syndesmotic injuries with diastasis have been treated surgically with screw fixation.
