Internal fixation of distal tibioperoneal syndesmosis in Weber type B and C fractures
Keywords:
distal tibioperonea syndesmosis, fracture B and C of WeberAbstract
Introduction: ankle fractures are among the most frequent traumatic injuries in life. Objective: to characterize patients who had distal tibioperoneal mortise surgically closed. Method: a descriptive study was conducted in 23 patients operated for Weber ankle fractures types B and C with distal tibioperoneal syndesmosis injury from April 2013 to April 2015 at the Arnaldo Milián Castro Hospital. Results: internal fixation of the lower tibioperoneal syndesmosis was mostly performed in fractures by external rotation pronation mechanism corresponding to Weber’s type C (82.6%), the rest by abduction pronation mechanism; a total of five patients presented complications (21.7%) and 82.6% had excellent results after surgery. Conclusions: the anatomo-functional configuration of the tibioperoneal mortise in relation to the talus requires an exact correspondence; despite the current methods of diagnosis, classification and fixation of the lesion of the tibioperoneal mortise, they are difficult to treat and their complications cause important sequels.Downloads
