[The influence of operative methods on biomechanics of tibio-fibular syndesmosis]
Abstract
Ten cadaver anatomical preparations of the ankle served to assess selected parameters of movement within this joint. Measurements were done in uninjured joint and after transfixation with tension wiring band, staples and screws. Wiring band provided better biomechanical results than screws or staples.
