The Development of Heterotopic Ossification Following Ankle Fracture Syndesmotic Screw Fixation [PDF]
Category: Ankle, Trauma Introduction/Purpose: Syndesmotic fixation with screws is commonly used for ankle fractures with syndesmotic disruption. Few studies have reported the development of heterotopic ossification (HO) within the syndesmosis following ...

Use of tightrope fixation in ankle syndesmotic injuries
【Abstract】Objective: Conventional fixation of syndesmotic injuries with screws remains problematic. A novel fibrewire device (Tightrope®) has suggested advantages. However, small case series have reported high soft tissue complication rates. The purpose

Treatment of Acute Ankle Syndesmotic Injury by Syndesmotics Screw Fixation [PDF]
Background: The distal tibiofibular syndesmosis is a connection between tibia and fibula that consists of the anterior tibiofibular ligament, the posterior tibiofibular ligament, the transverse ligament and the interosseous ligament. Syndesmotic ligament injuries are most often seen in combination with ankle fractures, but can occur in isolation as ...

Evidence-Based Surgical Treatment Algorithm for Unstable Syndesmotic Injuries [PDF]
Background: Surgical treatment of unstable syndesmotic injuries is not trivial, and there are no generally accepted treatment guidelines. The most common controversies regarding surgical treatment are related to screw fixation versus dynamic fixation ...

SUTURE-BUTTON VERSUS SYNDESMOTIC SCREW IN THE TREATMENT OF DISTAL TIBIOFIBULAR SYNDESMOSIS INJURY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF LITERATURE AND META-ANALYSIS [PDF]
Background: Ankle fractures are one of the most common types of fractures, comprising 18% of all skeletal injuries annually. These fractures frequently involve the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis. The syndesmosis is vital in stabilizing the ankle mortise

Suture button versus syndesmotic screw in ankle fractures - evaluation with 3D imaging-based measurements. [PDF]
Background Inadequate reduction of syndesmotic injuries can result in disabling clinical outcomes. The aim of the study was to compare syndesmosis congruity after fixation by syndesmotic screws (SYS) or a suture button system (SBS) using three ...

Abstract PurposeThe purposes of the study were to (1) analyze the shape of the distal fibula at the location of syndesmotic stabilization and to (2) define safe zones at the distal‐lateral fibula for three different drilling tunnel orientations: anteriorly‐, posteriorly angulated and center‐center.

A New Method of Nice Knot Elastic Fixation for Distal Tibiofibular Syndesmosis Injury
Close to the anterior edge of the fibula, a bone tunnel was made with a diameter of 2.5 mm Kirschner wire, and a double‐strand polyester non‐absorbable suture was introduced from the outside to the inside. The medial double strands were pulled back with vascular forceps close to the posterior edge of the tibia, and Nice Knot was used on the lateral ...

Background: Ankle fracture–dislocation with a syndesmotic injury has been treated with syndesmotic screw fixation. There are little evidences about the safety and efficacy of syndesmotic screw removal on the syndesmotic malreduction.
