Category: Arthroscopy, Trauma Introduction/Purpose: To investigate clinical significance of ankle arthroscopy in the diagnosis of type B ankle fracture associated with the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury. Methods: From February 2014 to December 2016, the authors diagnosed and treated 35 cases of type B ankle fractures. including 23 males and 12 females; with an average age of (43.05±12.480) years. Each patient underwent preoperative assessment: according to the patient’s clinical manifestations and imaging examination, and before the operation and after internal fixation of ankle fracture, the Cotton test and the external rotation test were done in the C arm X-ray, the initial diagnosis whether there is the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury. When the Cotton test and the external rotation test was used, Ankle arthroscopy was used to observe and evaluate whether there is the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury. For patients with the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury, In addition to the internal fixation of the ankle fracture, the TightRope was used to repair the injury. And observation of repair effect by ankle arthroscopy. Results: After internal fixation of ankle fracture, the Cotton test and the external rotation test was performed under the C arm X-ray, there were no the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury in 22 patients. Preoperative CT showed 6 cases of combined the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury, Preoperative MRI showed 13 cases of combined the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury. Ankle arthroscopy confirmed 11 cases of combined the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury. The sensitivity of ankle arthroscopy and MRI diagnosis combined with the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury was higher than that of CT sensitivity(P<0.05). The sensitivity of ankle arthroscopy for the diagnosis of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury was weaker than that of MRI in the diagnosis of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury (P<0.05). MRI diagnosis of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury can be false positive. Conclusion: Ankle arthroscopy can directly observe the medial triangle ligament of the ankle, the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury, which provides the basis for correct diagnosis and treatment of Type B ankle fracture with the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury. And it can evaluate the stability of ankle after repairing the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury.

Syndesmosis Injury

A stable and precise articulation of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis is essential for normal motion of the ankle joint. Injury to the syndesmosis occurs through rupture or bony avulsion of the syndesmotic ligament complex. External rotation of the talus has been identified as the major mechanism of syndesmotic injury. None of the syndesmotic stress tests was sensitive or specific; therefore the diagnosis of syndesmotic injury should not be made based on the medical history and physical examination alone. With the improvement in ankle arthroscopic technique, it can be used as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool in the management of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury.
