“…Thus, arthroscopy should also be used for joint examination and, if necessary, to simultaneously treat any intraarticular lesions. Lee et al (14) reported arthroscopic syndesmotic repair with AITFL reconstruction using suture tape. Their surgical procedure used a suture anchor, similar to our technique; however, they inserted the suture tape into the ankle joint.…”

“…[26] Today, arthroscopy of the ankle is routinely used to assist the reduction of major articular fractures, with "dry arthroscopy" assisting reduction of pilon and talus fractures. [32] Syndesmosis evaluation and treatment using arthroscopy as a visual, minimally invasive aid was propagated by Lee et al; [33] even lateral ankle ligament injuries are being addressed with the help of arthroscopes. [34] Ankle fusion is another area where the arthroscope has become a significant aid.…”

Historically, arthroscopy originated from the concept of cystoscopy, and was limited to use in the large joints, principally the knee. It is only the past 50 years that has led to the techniques being applied to the small joints of the foot and ankle, and the success has mirrored the development of better lens systems and smaller instruments. Although Watanabe pioneered arthroscopy as a whole, and initiated foot-and-ankle arthroscopy, it was the fine tuning of techniques for the ankle and subtalar joints by pioneers such as Van Dijk in Europe and Ferkel in USA, who combined their innovative techniques along with extensive teaching worldwide that lead to its acceptance in the current form. Although limited in scale, arthroscopy of the foot and ankle is currently practiced in many centers in India, with trained surgeons applying latest techniques at a few centers. The current status of arthroscopy is that it has allowed minimally invasive surgery in smaller and smaller joints, with a huge potential for expansion in the future.

“…When the positive physical exam of syndesmotic injury was checked preoperatively, we checked ankle MRI scan including an AITFL oblique axial plan. 14 If we found an evidence of syndesmotic injury in MRI, we explored the AITFL injury with an anterolateral deep dissection. Finally, we confirmed with external rotation stress tests conducted using a fluoroscopy in the operation room.…”

Background Acute syndesmotic injuries were usually treated with trans-syndesmotic screw fixation. However, screw fixation is too strong compared with the physiologic ankle joint movement. In addition, it needs removal and leads to delayed rehabilitation. We propose the reconstruction of the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL) using suture anchors to substitute trans-syndesmotic screw fixation. Materials and methods We compared the results after trans-syndesmotic screw fixation and AITFL suture anchor fixation in syndesmotic injuries with or without ankle fracture. Consecutively, the trans-syndesmotic screw (group I) was conducted between June 2011 and June 2013, and since July 2013, suture anchor fixation was performed (group II). Reductions in quality, the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, and the Olerud–Molander ankle score (OMAS) were evaluated. Results The final AOFAS score and OMAS in both groups were not significantly different (p = 0.98, 0.67). Tibiofibular overlapping, tibiofibular space, and tibiofibular overlapping ratio to the tibial width in both groups had satisfactory reduction from the standards. Computed tomographic (CT) evaluation also confirmed that both groups had been anatomically reduced in standard. Anteroposterior axis reduction in CT was more accurate in group II. Nonclinically related complications were three broken screws in final follow-up in group I. Conclusion Both trans-syndesmotic screws and suture anchor fixation have satisfactory clinical outcomes. The suture anchor fixation for syndesmotic injury does not need removal and is less complicated compared with the trans-syndesmotic screw fixation. How to cite this article Kim JS.
