Flexible stabilization of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis: clinical and biomechanical considerations: a review of the literature

Syndesmotic rupture is present in 10 % of ankle fractures and must be recognized and treated to prevent late complications. The method of fixation is classically rigid fixation with one or two screws. Knowledge of the biomechanics of the syndesmosis has led to the development of new dynamic implants...
