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 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...
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 کاملProximal tibiofibular dislocation: a case report and review of literature
An isolated dislocation of the proximal tibiofibular joint is uncommon. The mechanism of this injury is usually sports related. We present a case where initial X-rays did not show the tibiofibular joint dislocation conclusively. It was diagnosed after comparative bilateral AP X-rays of the knees were obtained. A closed reduction was performed and followed by unrestricted mobilization after 1 we...
