Fig. 2From: Application of an arched, Ni–Ti shape-memory connector in repairing distal tibiofibular syndesmosis ligament injuryPre- and postoperative radiographs of a patient in the ASC group. A, B Fracture of the lateral malleolus and ligament injury of the distal tibiofibular joint were obvious. C, D After reduction and fixation of the lateral malleolar fracture, ASC was added to reduce and fix the ligament relationship of the distal tibiofibular joint. E, F The figure shows the patient's fracture reduction and stability more than one year after the removal of all fracture internal fixationsBack to article page
