Rehabilitation 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 کاملWeber C ankle fractures with tibiofibular diastasis: syndesmosis-only fixation
OBJECTIVES To evaluate syndesmosis-only fixation in Weber C ankle fractures with tibiofibular diastasis and to assess the need for additional fibular fixation. METHODS Twenty-one patients with Weber C ankle fractures and tibiofibular diastasis were followed for at least 24 months after treatment. In treatment of the Weber C fractures, only a syndesmosis screw was used through a mini open late...
متن کاملCongenital distal tibiofibular synostosis
Congenital distal tibiofibular synostosis is a very rare anomaly. The cases of congenital tibiofibular synostosis reported in the literature so far have been confined to the proximal tibiofibular joint. We present an unusual case of tibiofibular synostosis that involves the distal part of the tibia and fibula based on characteristic X-ray, CT, and MRI findings.
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 کاملOsteoid Osteoma of the Ankle Posing As a Distal Tibiofibular Syndesmosis : A Rare Case Report
Introduction Osteoid osteomas are tumors of the bone which have lower limbs as the commonest site of involvement [1]. These tumors were first described in 1936 by Jaffe [1]. The tumor is described to be osteoblastic and benign [1]. Adoloscent young males are the commonly affected population [1]. The classical presentation is only noted in two-third of the patients [2].Radiographic appearance of...
