Detection of Fibular Torsional Deformities after Surgery for Ankle Fractures with a Novel CT Method

Abstract

Of the 61 ankle fractures with ruptures of the syndesmotic complex, 25% showed torsional side-to-side differences of more than 10 degrees on proximal and distal CT planes. This CT technique correlated with the AOFAS score and could help determine when early operative revision is indicated.
