IMPROVEMENT OF THE SURGICAL METHOD OF TREATMENT OF LIGAMENT RUPTURES OF DISTAL TIBIAL SYNDESMOSIS
Abstract
Damage to the distal tibial syndesmosis is one of the urgent problems of modern traumatology and orthopedics, especially sports injury. It should be noted the importance and significance of damage to the distal tibial syndesmosis in people with increased physical activity (soldiers, athletes, etc.), since damage to the ankle joint is a very frequent injury from 10% – 30% of all injuries and sprains account for the bulk of them. The relative weight of unsatisfactory results of treatment of patients with these injuries remains quite high and ranges from 3 to 22%. The article presents and substantiates the problem of treatment of untreated ruptures of distal tibial syndesmosis. The features of transosseous osteosynthesis by external fixation spokes and rods in the treatment of patients are shown. The analysis of the treatment outcomes of 44 patients with this type of injury was carried out.
