Abstract

BACKGROUND: Dynamic fixation using the TightRope® system has led to improvements in outcomes after complex ankle syndesmotic injuries. Augmenting tightrope fixation with a repair of the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament has been proposed to reconstruct the syndesmosis more accurately. Clinical studies using this technique are limited. PURPOSE: To determine if surgical technique influenced i…
