QID 217419 (Type "217419" in App Search)
A 27-year-old male was playing flag football when he sustained an eversion ankle injury. He was unable to bear weight after the injury and complains today of pain both medially and laterally about the ankle. You note he has pain with compression of the tibia and fibula in the calf region. He does not improve with nonoperative measures over the next several weeks and you obtain an MRI which confirms syndesmotic injury. For this reason, you recommend operative stabilization of the syndesmosis. Which of the radiographic measurements in Figures A & B would be most reliable in confirming accurate syndesmotic reduction?
