SURGICAL TREATMENT OF THE FAILURE OF THE DISTAL INTERBERTAL SYNDESMOSIS AFTER ANKLE FRACTURE (CLINICAL CASE)
Abstract
Introduction. One of the reasons for the occurrence of early deforming arthrosis after damage to the ankle joint area is an untreated subluxation of the foot outwards. Recurrences of subluxation in the failure of distal interbertial syndesmosis (DIS) after treatment of ankle fractures are about 4.7%.
