摘      要：Disruption of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis is frequently accompanied by rotational ankle fracture such as pronation-external rotation and rarely occurs without ankle *** such injury,not only inadequately treated or misdiagnosed cases,but also correctly diagnosed cases can possibly result in a chronic pattern which is more troublesome to treat than an acute *** paper reviews anatomical and biomechanical characteristics of the distal tibiofibular joint,the mechanism of chronic disruption of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis,radiological and arthroscopic diagnosis,and surgical treatment.
