  • Title: [Transfixation of the tibio-fibular syndesmosis in the surgical treatment of malleolar fractures].
    Author: Ivanovski A, Prodanovski T.
    Journal: Vojnosanit Pregl; 1989; 46(6):431-4. PubMed ID: 2631423.
    Abstract:
    The authors consider the problem of management of malleolar fractures with a special reference to B and C types of fractures by Weber. They have presented their observations in the out-patient service and consequences of inadequate surgical treatment of these fractures. Transfixation of distal tibio-fibular syndesmosis should be performed only if necessary which is evaluated by a single pronged hook test after osteosynthesis. Adequate rigidity and stability of syndesmosis has been achieved several times by osteosynthesis only so that additional fixation is not necessary.
