Injury to distal tibiofibular syndesmosis is commonly associated with ankle fractures. The surgical treatment especially in isolated chronic syndesmosis instability is still debated. This article has reviewed literature identified from PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane from year 2000 onwards and compared the functional outcomes between syndesmosis fusion and ligament reconstruction based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Eighteen studies were included. All the included papers described a good-to-excellent post-operative functional outcome without major complications. No significant difference between the two surgical interventions could be concluded. Further studies of better quality shall be conducted in the future.
