Anatomical Arthroscopic Graft Reconstruction of the Anterior Tibiofibular Ligament for Chronic Disruption of the Distal Syndesmosis
Injuries of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis are commonly overlooked or mismanaged, and chronic instability is a debilitating condition leading to premature joint degeneration. Several methods of treatment have been described, mainly screw fixation, arthrodesis, or ligament reconstruction. Most clinical evidence is limited to case series, mainly screw fixation, and there is a general paucity...
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 کاملDistal 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 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 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...
