Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2018, Vol 116, Issue 6
Abstract
Syndesmotic injury of ankle is not a very common injury. Treatment of this injury is very challenging and controversies are always there regarding the treatment and fixation methods, the time of weight bearing and removal of screws .Here in this study of 52 cases we have extensively searched the literature and tried all modes of fixation and finally concluded that tricortical fixation with 2 syndesmotic screws through plate works well and does not interfere with the weight bearing.
