Abstract

Background: This study aimed to investigate ankle syndesmosis in healthy subjects under non-weight bearing (NWB) and weight bearing (WB) conditions using two US methods.

Methods: The anterior tibiofibular clear space (ATFCS) was measured in healthy subjects in NWB and WB conditions using two US procedures. Method 1 measured 10 mm above the ankle joint and Method 2 measured 30° from the line of 10 mm above the ankle joint.

Results: A total of 60 ankles from 30 subjects (male/female, 15/15) were included. There was a significant difference in the ATFCS between the two US methods (p < 0.001), and Method 2 was better at detecting the change in diastasis from NWB to WB conditions. The ATFCS was significantly greater on WB than on NWB, irrespective of the US method.

Conclusions: Method 2 was better at detecting diastasis of the syndesmosis from NWB to WB conditions. The influence of WB needs to be considered when evaluating syndesmosis using US.

Level of evidence: Cross-sectional cohort study; Level of evidence, Ⅳ.

期刊介绍： Foot and Ankle Surgery is essential reading for everyone interested in the foot and ankle and its disorders. The approach is broad and includes all aspects of the subject from basic science to clinical management. Problems of both children and adults are included, as is trauma and chronic disease. Foot and Ankle Surgery is the official journal of European Foot and Ankle Society. The aims of this journal are to promote the art and science of ankle and foot surgery, to publish peer-reviewed research articles, to provide regular reviews by acknowledged experts on common problems, and to provide a forum for discussion with letters to the Editors. Reviews of books are also published. Papers are invited for possible publication in Foot and Ankle Surgery on the understanding that the material has not been published elsewhere or accepted for publication in another journal and does not infringe prior copyright.
