A stable and precise articulation of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis maintains the
tibiofibular relationship, and it is essential for normal motion of the ankle joint. The disruption …

Injuries to the tibio-fibular syndesmotic ligaments are different than ankle collateral ligament
injuries and occur in isolation or combination with malleolar fractures. Syndesmotic ligament …

Background: Several devices for obtaining dynamic fixation of the syndesmosis have been
introduced in recent years, but their efficacy has been tested in only a few randomized …

Aims The aim of this study was to investigate whether on-demand removal (ODR) is
noninferior to routine removal (RR) of syndesmotic screws regarding functional outcome …

In the last several years, zinc and its alloys have come into focus as bioabsorbable materials
by qualifying themselves with an excellent corrosion rate, mechanical properties, anti …

Background Tibiofibular syndesmosis injury leads to ankle pain and dysfunction when ankle
injuries are not treated properly. Despite several studies having been performed, many …

Ankle fractures are the fourth most common fracture requiring surgical management. The
deltoid ligament is a primary ankle stabilizer against valgus forces. It is frequently ruptured in …

Background Ankle syndesmotic injuries can be surgically managed with syndesmosis
screws (SS) or suture button (SB) fixation. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized …

Injuries to the tibioperoneal syndesmosis are more frequent than previously thought and
their treatment is essential for the stability of the ankle mortise. Recognition of these lesions …

Background Ankle fracture-dislocations are one of the most severe types of ankle injuries.
Compared to the simple ankle fractures, ankle fracture-dislocations are usually more …
