Distal Tibiofibular Syndesmosis: Anatomy, Biomechanics, Injury and Management
A stable and precise articulation of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis is essential for normal motion of the ankle joint. Injury to the syndesmosis occurs through rupture or bony avulsion of the syndesmotic ligament complex. External rotation of the talus has been identified as the major mechanism of syndesmotic injury. None of the syndesmotic stress tests was sensitive or specific; therefore...
متن کاملVascular anatomy of the tibiofibular syndesmosis.
BACKGROUND Injuries to the tibiofibular syndesmosis commonly cause prolonged ankle pain and disability. Syndesmotic injuries are associated with slower healing rates compared with rates for other ankle ligament injuries and typically result in longer time away from sports. To our knowledge, the vascular supply to the syndesmosis and its clinical implication have not previously been studied. The...
متن کاملRehabilitation of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis sprains: a case report.
OBJECTIVE To present the epidemiology, etiology, diagnostic criteria and therapeutic interventions for an important clinical entity - tibiofibular syndesmosis or "high ankle" sprains. CLINICAL FEATURES The most common mechanism of injury is forced external rotation in a dorsiflexed foot. Pain is located anteriorly over the anterior tibiofibular ligament, and is elicited through a variety of t...
متن کاملInjuries to the tibiofibular syndesmosis.
The management of injury to the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis remains controversial in the treatment of ankle fractures. Operative fixation usually involves the insertion of a metallic diastasis screw. There are a variety of options for the position and characterisation of the screw, the type of cortical fixation, and whether the screw should be removed prior to weight-bearing. This paper rev...
متن کاملTechnical aspects of the syndesmotic screw and their effect on functional outcome following acute distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury.
INTRODUCTION Much of the currently available data on the technical aspects of syndesmotic screw placement are based upon biomechanical studies, using cadaveric legs with different testing protocols, and on surgeon preference. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the level of syndesmotic screw insertion on functional outcome. Further, the effects of number of cortices e...
