Abstract

Syndesmosis disruptions in the ankle joint are typically treated with anatomic reduction followed by transfixing screw and/or suture button fixation. The purpose of our study was to analyze the effects of the removal of transfixing screws on syndesmosis integrity using plain radiographs and computed tomography (CT) scans.
