Arthrodesis of syndesmotic joint for failed fixation of syndesmosis: A case report
Introduction: Ankle syndesmosis comprises an integral part of the ankle joint complex. As a fibrous structure resists the axial, rotational, and translational forces and hence maintains the integrity of the ankle mortise.

Tibia‐Fibula Relative Motion During Gait Cycle by 2D‐3D Registration
ABSTRACT Injuries to the distal tibiofibular joint are often associated with ankle fractures, sports‐related injuries, or instability, whereas proximal tibiofibular joint injuries are more commonly present with lateral‐ or posterolateral‐compartment lesions of the knee. These conditions may be related to the relative motion between the tibia and fibula;

Syndesmotic Loose Bodies in Trimalleolar Ankle Fractures [PDF]
Introduction: Trimalleolar ankle fractures have a worse prognosis than other ankle fractures and are in most cases associated with other injuries. Adequate reduction is the key to restoring ankle function.

A protocol for a feasibility randomised controlled trial to assess the difference between functional bracing and plaster cast for the treatment of ankle fractures [PDF]
Background: UK Hospital Episode Statistics 2013–2014 recorded 57,286 fractures of the lower limb including the ankle. This figure is expected to continue to increase due to a greater population of older adults.

Prone‐Position Physical Examination of the Ankle for Chronic Ankle Instability: A Technical Note
Abstract Ankle sprain can lead to chronic ankle instability. Although radiologic imaging contributes to the diagnosis, the most critical step remains a thorough physical examination and patient history. This examination is also essential for identifying risk factors for surgical failure.

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.
