What is Syndesmotic Instability? A syndesmosis injury, 'high ankle sprain' occurs usually when the foot is twisted and rotated outwards. The ankle is formed by the Tibia and Fibula bones, held by ligaments termed the Anterior Inferior Tibiofibular Ligament AITFL, and the Posterior Inferior tibiofibular ligamen PITFL.
Syndesmosis injuries occur when there is a disruption of the distal attachment of the tibia and fibula. These injuries occur commonly (up to 18% of ankle sprains), and the incidence increases in the setting of athletic activity. Recognition of these injuries is key to preventing long-term morbidity.
