Injury Apr 21, 2021
Kaftandziev I, Bakota B, Trpeski S, et al. - This study was undertaken to investigate post-operatively with CT-scanning the quality of ankle syndesmotic reduction. Moreover, to assess the impact of quality of syndesmotic reduction on functional outcome. Researchers conducted a prospective cohort study including a total of 41 patients older than 17 years with a lateral and medial malleolar fracture with verified syndesmotic disruption. As per the results, functional analysis exhibited a strong relationship with the CT observed reduction quality and both the AOFAS score and VAS scale. Future trials are needed to evaluate further evidence in relation to the findings of this study.
