Syndesmotic screw fixation is one of commonly used treatment options but there remains debate topics such as implant breakage and the need for device removal. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical, radiologic and arthroscopic outcomes of open syndesmotic repair for open-book type syndesmotic injury as a new treatment option.Methods:We reviewed the clinical, radiographic and arthroscopic results of 20 patients with traumatic injuries to the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis who were treated with open syndesmotic repair. Arthroscopic evaluations including cotton test were performed at the primary and second-look operation.
