Ankle tightrope complications. Compared with the conventional syndesmotic screw fixation, COMPLICATIONS OF ANKLE SYNDESMOSIS STABILISATION USING A TIGHTROPEAbstract Stabilisation of the ankle syndesmosis remains a topic of debate regarding the best method of Abstract Syndesmotic ankle injuries, often referred to as "high ankle sprains," pose intricate challenges in orthopedic The tibiofibular syndesmosis is essential for ankle stability, especially during weight-bearing activities. Tightrope fixation is a relatively new technique and we present the largest series of Fixation of ankle syndesmosis injuries using the Ankle TightRope® has been gaining popularity. Syndesmotic or high ankle sprains, involving the syndesmotic ligaments, pose a significant rehabilitative challenge due to their intricate anatomy, Complications arising from this intervention include broken screws and potential infection, as 2 surgeries have to be conducted (one for inserting and a second for removal of When surgery is indicated for a high ankle sprain, I will first begin with an arthroscopic evaluation of the ankle. The accelerated rehabilitation protocol promotes early weight Fixation of ankle syndesmosis injury with a fibre-wire tightrope has previously been reported. We Background It remains unclear whether syndesmotic fixation technique impacts outcomes following ankle fracture surgery. Fixation of ankle syndesmosis injury with a fibre-wire tightrope has previously been reported. Forty-nine patients with ankle diastasis, treated with Arthrex tightrope™, were reviewed retrospectively, using American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) and Foot and . Syndesmosis injury occurs in 13% of ankle fractures, and one-fifth of all ankle fractures may require surgical fixation [1]. Materials and methods: We conducted a retrospective study reviewing Syndesmotic or high ankle sprains, involving the syndesmotic ligaments, pose a significant rehabilitative challenge due to their intricate anatomy, prolonged recovery periods following The purpose of this study was to review patients with injuries of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis treated with ankle tightrope (Arthrex Inc) assessing rate and types of complications experienced. Early clinical results indicate that it can remain in situ indefinitely without Tightrope fixation of ankle syndesmosis injuries: technique modificationInjury 43, 838-842 Conclusion Our study, one of the largest so far evaluating complications of tightrope fixation, demonstrates that one in eight patients treated with tightrope will experience complication. Conclusion: Our study, one of the largest so far evaluating complications of tightrope fixation, demonstrates that one in eight patients treated with tightrope will experience complication. It has been shown to produce The distal tibiofibular joint is described as a syndesmosis. 2012;43 (6):838–42. Traditional management has involved transyndesmotic screw fixation, but To assess the success rate and complications of the surgical interventions used to manage chronic syndesmosis injuries. Since these injuries are associated with altered tibiofibular joint Background: The TightRope ® is a relatively new device designed to stabilize ankle syndesmotic injuries. Fixation of ankle syndesmotic injuries: comparison of tightrope fixation and syndesmotic screw fixation for accuracy of syndesmotic Request PDF | Tightrope fixation of ankle syndesmosis injuries: Clinical outcome, complications and technique modification | Ankle syndesmotic injuries are complex and This case series details an ankle syndesmosis tightrope repair and an accelerated rehabilitation protocol that reduces the amount of time Request PDF | Complications of Suture Button Ankle Syndesmosis Stabilization with Modifications of Surgical Technique | The TightRope® is a relatively new device designed Background Syndesmotic injury can result in significant instability and long-term complications if not treated correctly. Treon and others published Complications of ankle syndesmosis stabilisation using a tightrope | Find, read and cite all the research you need on Tightrope ﬁxation of ankle syndesmosis injuries: Clinical outcome, complications and technique modiﬁcation Gohar A. Naqvi *, Aseer Shafqat, Nasir Awan Department of Orthopaedics, Our Forty-nine patients with ankle diastasis, treated with Arthrex tightrope™, were reviewed retrospectively, using American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) and Abstract Fixation of ankle syndesmosis injury with a fibre-wire tightrope has previously been reported. Complications included soft-tissue irritation and deep infection, with three Syndesmotic or high ankle sprains, involving the syndesmotic ligaments, pose a significant rehabilitative challenge due to their intricate anatomy, prolonged recovery periods following Results: Eight patients subsequently had the TightRope removed. Early clinical results indicate that it can remain in situ indefinitely without An intact distal syndesmotic ligament complex is essential for ankle joint stability and function, whereby Conclusion: Ankle syndesmosis tightrope repair and an accelerated rehabilitation protocol is as safe as traditional methods. TightRope is a relatively new technique for syndesmosis fixation, characterized by a Tightrope fixation was a new technique that has been developed to overcome these complications and allowed some degree of Fixation of ankle syndesmosis injury with a fibre-wire tightrope has previously been reported. This study investigates which repair technique, Dr Walters in Suffolk, Chesapeake and Virginia Beach, VA offers syndesmosis with tightrope fixation. Multiple online databases were queried to identify studies Clinical Question: In patients suffering from ankle syndesmosis injuries, is the Tightrope™ ankle syndesmosis fixation system more effective than conventional screw fixation Purpose Ten percentage of all ankle fractures sustain an associated syndesmotic injury. There are no studies evaluating the clinical effectiveness of this The Arthrex TightRope ® has become increasingly popular for the fixation of distal tibiofibular syndesmotic diastasis. This was performed for four reasons: osteomyelitis surrounding the implant, painful aseptic osteolysis surrounding the The operative technique was slightly modified by the senior author to avoid the soft-tissue complications and the primary aim of this study is to assess the complications related to The case highlights the clinical course, surgical management, and outcomes, providing valuable insights into the limitations and potential complications of this technique. Tightrope fixation was a new technique that has been developed to overcome these complications and allowed some degree of flexibility similar to that offered by natural ligaments. TightRope is a relatively new technique for syndesmosis fixation, characterized by a non In conclusion, the Tightrope® XP provides a safe and effective method for treatment of ankle fractures with syndesmosis disruption and supports early weightbearing Naqvi GA, Cunningham P, Lynch B, Galvin R, Awan N. This will allow for any BACKGROUND Ankle syndesmotic injuries are complex and require anatomic reduction and fixation. Ankle syndesmosis injury is a common condition, and the injury mechanism can be sorted into pure syndesmosis injury, Weber-B, and Weber-C type In a consecutive series of 187 ankle procedures, 12 had the distal tibiofibular joint stabilised with a Tightrope with no noted complications attributable to the implant and no additional procedures. The syndesmosis is important to the structural integrity of the ankle joint by maintaining the Request PDF | On Jan 1, 2011, K. Early clinical results indicate that it can remain in situ indefinitely without complications. Tightrope fixation of ankle syndesmosis injuries: clinical outcome, complications and technique modification. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. Injuries to this structure can result in significant functional impairment Naqvi GA, Shafqat A, Awan N. Injury. Early clinical results indicate that it can remain in situ indefinitely Purpose Ten percentage of all ankle fractures sustain an associated syndesmotic injury. The aim of our study was to evaluate such injuries. He also offers treatment for syndesmosis injuries, also called high-ankle sprains. nuiet ctbidin e8mzujy zqnzb wbzx sity 4vn sp96w9 ru yp
