Investigating the Radiological Outcomes of Syndesmosis Injuries in Ankle Fracture Patients After Suture Button Fixation.

Concomitant syndesmotic injury occurs in 10% of ankle fractures. Anatomic reduction and maintenance of this reduction is critical in ensuring ankle stability and preventing long-term complications. This is a retrospective cohort study aimed at evaluating the mid-term radiological outcomes of syndesmotic injuries in ankle fracture patients after surgical fixation with suture button device.

Radiographic grading of the patellofemoral joint is more accurate in skyline compared to lateral views.

Background: The patellofemoral joint is perhaps the most commonly involved compartment in knee osteoarthritis (OA). Radiographic studies are routinely ordered and are seen as the first-line investigations for patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA). The Kellgren-Lawrence (K&L) grading scale is often used to quantify the severity of radiographic OA.
