Abstract:
In 58 patients of 585 fractures of the ankle we demonstrated the disruption of the tibiofibular syndesmosis. Near to osteosynthetic repair the tibiofibular diastrasis was restored with the syndesmosis-plate by Rhamanzadeh. Postoperative treatment happened plaster-free. Complete weight bearing was achieved pain-dependend after 2 until 4 weeks. This equipment is following from the dynamical fixation of the tibiofibular syndesmosis by preserving the physiological movements between tibia and fibula. Removement of syndesmosis-plate ensued with the remaining osteosynthetical material after one year.
