Standardized analysis of syndesmosis stability in ankle trauma with an innovative syndesmosis-test-tool: a biomechanical study

Abstract When treating ankle fractures, the question of syndesmosis complex involvement often arises. So far, there is no standardized method to reliably detect syndesmosis injuries in the surgical treatment of ankle fractures. For this reason, an intraoperative syndesmosis-test-tool (STT) was devel...
