Association between the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis morphology classification and ankle osteoarthritis: a retrospective study

Abstract Background Syndesmosis injury is proposed to contribute to ankle stability and osteoarthritis (OA). However, whether distal tibiofibular syndesmosis structure is closely related to ankle OA is unclear. We hypothesized that different DTS morphology classifications would affect the biomechani...
