Can Syndesmosis Screws Displace the Distal Fibula?

. There has been historical debate as to whether the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis can be overtightened during operative fixation. We used finite-element analysis to determine if overtightening of syndesmotic screws can cause widening of the lateral gutter clear space in the ankle joint.

Distal Triceps Speed Bridge Repair.

Distal triceps ruptures are uncommon injuries resulting in loss of elbow extension strength and necessitating surgical repair to ensure optimal functional outcome. Traditional fixation techniques using running, locking sutures through the tendon secured through bone tunnels have been shown to poorly restore the anatomic footprint and are mechanically inferior to anatomic repairs. We endorse restoring the anatomic footprint of the distal triceps, similar to the well-researched rotator cuff repair model.
