Summary
Suture tape augmentation successfully treated an unstable ankle syndesmosis injury, even with combined ligament damage. This method offers a reliable option for anatomical restoration and faster patient recovery.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Sports Medicine
- Anatomy
Background:
- Ankle syndesmosis injuries significantly impact ankle joint integrity and weight-bearing capacity.
- Current treatments for distal syndesmosis injuries, including screw and suture-button fixation, have varying outcomes.
- Suture tape augmentation shows promise but is typically limited to cases with an intact posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (PITFL).
