Imaging of the Distal Tibiofibular Syndesmosis: Anatomy in Relation to Radiological Diagnosis [PDF]

, 2011
Injury to the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis can occur after an ankle sprain or after an acute ankle fracture. In an estimated 1-11% of all ankle sprains, injury of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis occurs which is known as a high ankle sprain ...

Syndesmotic Loose Bodies in Trimalleolar Ankle Fractures [PDF]

Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery (Asia Pacific)
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 systematic review of studies on the diagnostics and classification system used in surgically treated, acute, isolated, unstable syndesmotic injury: a plea for uniform definition of syndesmotic injuries

EFORT Open Reviews
Syndesmotic injuries occur in 20% of ankle fracture cases and in approximately 17% of all ankle sprains (1, 2, 3, 4). Isolated syndesmotic injuries are referred to as high ankle sprains.

Chronic instability of the anterior syndesmosis of the ankle: Biomechanical, kinematical, radiological and clinical aspects [PDF]

, 2007
This thesis is concerned with chronic anterior instability of the tibiofibular syndesmosis of the ankle. The ankle plays a fundamental role in locomotion. It consists of the talocrural and distal tibiofibular joint. The latter is a syndesmosis, a fibrous
