SER type

Syndesmosis injury

A syndesmosis is slightly movable articulation where the contiguous bony surfaces are united by an interosseous ligament or membrane as in the inferior tibiofibular articulation

Hypothesis Bony attenuation vs Syndesmosis

Hypothesis Bony attenuation vs Syndesmosis

Patients Patents : ankle Fx. c OP in our hospital

From Mar. 2006 to Feb. 2013 1109 cases

Inclusion SER type Preoperative X-ray, 3D-CT

Exclusion Direct injury, anatomical deformity Inadequate radiography

Measurement Method 3-Dimension CT X-ray (Mortise view)

test or chi-square exact test) receiver operating characteristic (ROC)

curve Delong’s test detect the significant of the area under the

Result

SER type ankle Fx. : total 191 patients Male : Female = 104 : 87 Mean age = 53.2±15.2 years (range 18-

85) Syndesmotic injury (+) : 38 patients Syndesmotic injury (-) : 153 patients

Conclusion SER type Ankle Fx. X-ray

frature height > 7mm Medial joint space > 4.5mm

CT Fracture height > 3mm Medial joint space > 4.9mm Bony attenuation > 262.7

Conclusion Consideration of treatment on Ankle Fx.
