Abstract
In this video, we present a unique approach to a purely ligamentous syndesmotic injury in a 16-year-old football player. Syndesmotic reduction was obtained using a large clamp and validated by matching fibular position to a fluoroscopic image of the contralateral ankle. Fixation was achieved using dual suture button devices in combination with a buttress plate. A small medial incision was used to protect the saphenous neurovascular bundle during button placement.
