Abstract
Chronic syndesmosis disruption can occur if an acute lesion is missed or inadequately managed. This can result in significant functional deficit and development of post-traumatic ankle arthritis. Anatomic reduction of the syndesmosis and maintenance of the reduction by syndesmotic screw fixation alone, ligamentous reconstruction, or fusion of the syndesmosis are recommended. A technique of arthroscopic distal tibiofibular syndesmosis arthrodesis is described.
