Abstract
Diastasis of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis is commonly seen with ankle fractures, but is a rare finding in the absence of fracture. The anatomy, biomechanics, mechanism of injury, evaluation, and radiographic assessment of the tibiofibular syndesmosis are reviewed. The authors present a review and two cases of traumatic ankle diastasis without ankle fracture.
