Abstract
The objective of this study was to report early outcomes of a novel screw-suture syndesmotic device compared to suture button fixation devices when treating traumatic syndesmotic instability.
Methods: Design: Retrospective chart review.
Single academic Level-1 Trauma Center
All adult patients who had syndesmotic fixation with the novel device (NSRI group) compared to a suture button device (SB group) between January 2018 and December 2022.
Outcome Measures and Comparisons: Medial clear space (MCS) and tibiofibular overlap (TFO) measurements were compared immediately post-operatively and at final follow-up. Patients were followed for a minimum of 1-year or skeletal healing.
Fifty-nine patients (25 female) with an average age of 47 years (range 19-78 years) were in the NSRI group compared to 52 patients (20 female) with an average age of 41 years (range 18-73 years) in the SB group. There were no significant differences when comparing Body Mass Index, diabetes, or smoking status between groups (p>0.05). There was no difference when comparing the post-operative and final MCS measurements in the NSRI group compared to the SB group (p=0.86; 95% CI [-0.32, 0.27). There was no difference when comparing the post-operative and final TFO measurements in the NSRI group compared to the SB group (p=0.79; 95% CI [-0.072, 0.09). There were 3 cases of implant removal in the NSRI group compared to 2 in the SB group (p=0.77). There was one failure in the NSRI group and none in the SB group. The remaining patients were all fully ambulatory at final follow-up (p=0.35).
A novel screw-suture syndesmotic implant provides the fixation of a screw and the flexibility of a suture had similar radiographic outcomes compared to suture button fixation devices in treating ankle syndesmotic instability.
Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
