【 摘 要 】
Category:SportsIntroduction/Purpose:Syndesmotic stability is usually assessed arthroscopically by an arthroscopic probe insertion between the anterolateral tibio-fibular recess. This probe test can predict the syndesmotic instability, however, is difficult to determine syndesmotic fixation. The syndesmosis has dynamic motion and fairly firm structure, 2 mm thin probe cannot make syndesmotic dynamic diastasis. We proposed a new “Freer test” for diagnosis of syndesmosis injury which performed to insert a 2 mm diameter freer elevator between tibio-fibular lateral gutter while keeping the ankle at the plantigrade. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of freer test for anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL) complete tear, interosseous ligament (IOL) tear and Weber type B fibular fracture.Methods:Ten fresh ankle cadaveric specimens were used. Operative procedures progressed as below; firstly, exposed antero-lateral ankle joint with direct lateral longitudinal incision, ...
