Reduction and fixation of anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament avulsion fracture without syndesmotic screw fixation in rotational ankle fracture

Journal of International Medical Research, 2020
Objective We aimed to present the radiographic and functional outcomes of anatomical reduction and fixation of anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL) avulsion fracture without syndesmotic screw fixation in rotational ankle fracture.

Defining an Anatomic and Radiographic Safe Zone for Posterior Malleolar Ankle Hardware Fixation

Foot & Ankle Orthopaedics, 2022
Category: Ankle; Trauma Introduction/Purpose: There is a lack of consensus regarding optimal management of Posterior Malleolar Fractures (PMFs). Indirect reduction and fixation with posterior-anterior (PA) screw shows promise of avoiding the risks ...

Surgical treatment of syndesmotic diastasis: emphasis on effect of syndesmotic screw on ankle function [PDF]

International Orthopaedics, 2010
Fifty-two consecutive adult patients with syndesmotic diastasis (SD) were treated with closed anatomical reduction and stable fixation by a trans-syndesmotic cancellous screw. A short leg splint was prescribed for a six week postoperative period. Treatment outcomes of syndesmotic screw removal at various time points were studied and compared (group 1 ...

Ankle fractures with associated syndesmotic injuries: Treatment of syndesmosis injuries and the impact of posterior malleolar fractures

, 2021
In 10-13% of surgically treated ankle fractures the syndesmotic ligaments are ruptured, resulting in ankle instability. Untreated, syndesmotic instability can cause chronic ankle pain and osteoarthritis (OA). Several implant options exist for syndesmotic

Cost-effectiveness of on-demand removal of syndesmotic screws

European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2022
Abstract Purpose Syndesmotic screw removal following acute syndesmotic injury is a commonly performed procedure. However, recent studies suggest that the removal does not result in improved patient reported outcome, while the procedure has proved not to be without complications.

Biomechanical Evaluation of Syndesmotic Screw Design via Finite Element Analysis and Taguchi's Method [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Screw fixation of syndesmotic injuries facilitates ligament healing and restoration of ankle stability, but failure of the screw might threaten the success of the treatment.

Syndesmotic Internal Brace™ for anatomic distal tibiofibular ligament augmentation [PDF]

, 2017
Reconstruction of unstable syndesmotic injuries is not trivial, and there is no generally accepted treatment guidelines. Thus, there still remain considerable controversies regarding diagnosis, classification and treatment of syndesmotic injuries ...

A Prospective, Randomized Investigation of Syndesmosis Injury Fixation

Foot & Ankle Orthopaedics, 2020
Category: Ankle; Trauma Introduction/Purpose: Syndesmotic disruption occurs in 10 to 13% of all ankle fractures. It is present in 15 cases per 100,000 of the general population. There has been debate on the best treatment for syndesmotic injuries.

Proximal migration of fibular malleolus during tibial lengthening despite syndesmotic screw fixation: A series of 22 cases [PDF]

, 2014
IntroductionDuring tibial lengthening procedures, it is recommended to prevent fibular malleolus proximal migration using a distal tibiofibular syndesmotic screw, which is removed at 6 months. We have observed proximal migrations of the fibular malleolus

Identification of Surgical Plan for Syndesmotic Fixation Procedure Based on Finite Element Method

Applied Sciences, 2020
Syndesmosis injuries account for approximately 20% of ankle fractures that require surgery. Although multiple surgical options are available, all of them are based on metal screws. Serious complications that arise when applying metal screws include screw
