ABSTRACT

Ankle syndesmosis injuries tend to be overlooked in the context of a sprained lateral ligament complex of the ankle. «Isolated syndesmosis injuries» are those that are not accompanied by a fracture or other serious ligament injury of the ankle. Their relative incidence is between 1-11% of all soft-tissue injuries of the ankle. The objective of this review is to report the ideal way to reach the clinical and imaging diagnosis of these injuries and what the current literature offers as a treatment to these patients.
