Summary: This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of conventional ankle CT scans in external rotation and dorsiflexion with that in a neutral position for diagnosing syndesmotic instability. The results showed that CT scans in external rotation and dorsiflexion had higher diagnostic accuracy for diagnosing syndesmotic instability.

Summary: The study compared the effectiveness and safety of early weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing in elderly patients with pronation rotation type III ankle fractures. Results showed that early weight-bearing significantly improved the quality of life and functionality of the patients in both short and long term.

Summary: Comparing syndesmotic screw fixation with suture button system fixation using 3D computed imaging techniques showed no significant differences in immediate post-operative alignment. Special attention should be given to syndesmotic malreduction in the sagittal orientation of the fibula in relation to the tibia during radiological control and intra-operatively.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate how dissection of the syndesmosis and osteotomy of the posterior malleolus affect tibiofibular diastasis and fibular rotation. Results showed that these procedures did not significantly influence the position of the fibula in the incisura tibiofibularis.

Summary: This study compared different treatment methods for isolated unstable distal fibula fractures, finding that direct deltoid ligament repair yields similar functional scores and fewer reoperations compared to trans-syndesmotic fixation at midterm follow up. The most common reason for reoperation was the removal of hardware.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different syndesmotic screw insertion levels on postoperative clinical outcomes in ankle fractures with syndesmotic instability. The study found that different levels of syndesmotic screw placement did not appear to affect clinical outcomes, and no optimal level was observed.

Summary: The aim of this study was to assess whether combined weightbearing and external rotation during imaging can increase the diagnostic sensitivity of syndesmotic ankle instability. The results showed that the combination of weightbearing and external rotation can enhance the diagnostic sensitivity of syndesmotic ligament injuries.

Summary: This study used lateral malleolus fracture mapping to predict whether SER type ankle fractures are accompanied with syndesmotic injuries. The measurement results of fracture height of the posterior cortex, peak height, and inclination angle were used to determine the cut-off values.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the reduction of syndesmosis after suture-button fixation for ankle malleolar fractures over time and the reliability of measurement values. Results showed a decrease in anterior tibiofibular distance and anteroposterior fibular translation 1 year after surgery, while other measurement values remained stable.

Summary: Acute syndesmotic injury can be treated with different surgical tools, but inappropriate management may lead to chronic ankle syndesmotic insufficiency. Diagnosing chronic syndesmotic insufficiency is challenging and can cause prolonged suffering for patients. There is no consensus on the surgical treatment of chronic syndesmotic injury in previous literature. We present a case of successful syndesmotic reconstruction 5 years after ankle fracture dislocation, emphasizing the importance of CT scan post-reduction in accurately assessing reduction, especially in severe injuries with diastasis.

Summary: Ultrasound has good to excellent diagnostic value for complete discontinuity of the ATFL and AITFL, making it suitable for screening these injuries. Dynamic ultrasound, however, has inferior diagnostic value for complete discontinuity of the AITFL compared to standard ultrasound.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the short- and mid-term quality of life, clinical outcomes, and gait in patients with syndesmotic injuries associated with ankle fractures who underwent static stabilization with a trans-syndesmotic screw or dynamic stabilization with a suture button device. The results showed significant differences in the AOFAS and EQ-5D scores at the two-month follow-up. No differences were found in the other follow-ups or gait analysis. Conclusion: Both dynamic and static fixation are effective procedures for avoiding ankle instability in syndesmotic injuries, and the suture button device is comparable to screw fixation based on functional outcomes and gait analysis.

Summary: This study aimed to examine and report normal threshold values for distal tibiofibular syndesmosis (DTFS) area measurements. Weightbearing computed tomography (WBCT) was used to directly assess the widening of the distal tibiofibular area. It was found that there was no significant difference in the DTFS area between unstressed and stressed ankles in healthy individuals, which is important for the diagnosis and treatment of DTFS injuries.

Summary: The study results show that after initial migration, the Optimys short stem achieves secondary stabilisation, indicating a low risk of long-term aseptic loosening in total hip arthroplasty.

Summary: The ten-year outcomes of seleXys TH+ cup with Ceramys CoC bearing showed an unacceptably high rate of aseptic loosening, but stabilized over time. The stabilization of early revision rates may be attributed to a problem with osseointegration during the transition from primary to definitive stability.

Summary: This study compared the migration characteristics of hydroxyapatite coated (HA+) and uncoated (HA-) Zweymuller-type hip stems through a double-blinded randomised RSA trial with a 5-year follow-up. The results showed that the addition of a hydroxyapatite coating did not influence the migration of the hip stem after 5 years, and there were no significant differences in clinical outcomes between the two groups.

Summary: This study analyzed data from the Dutch Arthroplasty Register and found that ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearings had a higher 2-year cup revision rate compared to ceramic-on-polyethylene (CoPE) bearings in press-fit total hip arthroplasty. The main reason for revision in CoC bearings was cup loosening.

Summary: There was a significant relationship between the difference in knee extension angle during gait between patients and controls with the Oxford Knee Score (OKS), where an increase of 1 degree in difference led to a reduction of 1.0 to 1.6 points in OKS. Patients overall exhibited less knee extension compared to controls, while ankle and hip gait parameters and joint moments did not show any correlation with OKS.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether consulting an occupational medicine specialist (OMS) within 3 months after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery can lead to an earlier return to work (RTW) for patients. The results showed that consulting an OMS did not result in a decrease in time to RTW for TKA patients. However, TKA patients with high expectations returned to work earlier without consulting an OMS.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to assess the failure rate, revision rate, and functional outcomes of treating acute ACL rupture with the Ligamys device. It was found that the failure rate of the device was 30.2%, which did not meet the non-inferiority criterion compared to ACL reconstruction. However, good functional outcomes were observed in patients without the need for secondary reconstructive surgery, even in the presence of anteroposterior knee laxity.
