Lower extremities peripheral neuropathies caused by ganglion cysts are rare. The most frequent location of occurrence is the common peroneal nerve and its branches, at the level of the fibular neck. We report the case of a 57-year-old patient admitted with foot drop, due to an extraneural ganglion of the upper tibiofibular syndesmosis, compressing the deep branch of the peroneal nerve. Although...

Abstract Aim Assess compliance with BOAST guidelines – “Surgery should aim to achieve reduction and stabilisation of the ankle mortise. The syndesmosis then be assessed stabilised if unstable.” Method 103 Ankle ORIF procedures done for closed malleolar fractures in skeletally mature induviduals over a 12-month period used first audit. Review Op notes intra-operative images was looking evidence ...

Ankle fractures are the most frequent accounting for 10% of all fractures, having an incidence about 184/100,000 per year. Moreover, after external rotation or dorsiflexion injuries, syndesmotic disruption typically occurs at ankle. The physiologic normality joint gets affected a transverse screw fixation, which decreases magnitude motion lower extremes tibia and fibula, reducing contact forces...

Ankle sprains are among the most common athletic injuries and represent a significant source of persistent pain and disability. Despite the high incidence of ankle sprains in athletes, syndesmosis injuries have historically been underdiagnosed, and assessment in terms of severity and optimal treatment has not been determined. More recently, a heightened awareness in sports medicine has resulted...

Background: Assessing the reduction of syndesmosis is highly recommended due to complications occurring after malreduction syndesmosis. This study evaluated post-operative Computed Tomography (CT) scans and standard plain radiographs for assessing post-operatively. Objectives: Evaluating radiologic assessments Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 45 patients presented with ankle fractur...

The issue of choosing the method for optimal surgical treatment a broken fibula has been debatable many years. At same time, concomitant repair tibiofibular syndesmosis injuries does not have unified approach. It determined that osteosynthesis shin bones with injury should combine stable fixation bone and limit elastic properties syndesmosis. In case fibula, it is recommended to use extracortic...

BACKGROUND Ankle syndesmotic injuries are a significant source of morbidity and require anatomic reduction to optimize outcomes. Although a previous study concluded that maximal dorsiflexion during syndesmotic fixation was not required, methodologic weaknesses existed and several studies have demonstrated improved ankle dorsiflexion after removal of syndesmotic screws. The purposes of the curre...
