According to another study, 16 patients treated with suture fixation compared to 16 patients with syndesmotic screw fixation achieved significantly better functional scores at 3 and 12 months and returned to work faster. 2 There are many considerations when treating syndesmotic injuries. The first...

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE Art-Fonks Double Button Lift System-Syndesmosis Lift Anatomical Reduction and Creating Hole Ensure that the distal fibula is anatomically reduced within the tibia incisura as seen on A/P and lateral x-rays.
