Introduction: A singular procedure involving both a distal tibiofibular synostosis resection with syndesmosis repair by peroneus longus ligamentoplasty has not been reported in the English literature. We report a case of simultaneous distal tibiofibular synostosis resection and syndesmosis stabilization by peroneus longus ligamentoplasty for the treatment of symptomatic distal tibiofibular synostosis formation, following neglected syndesmosis injury.
Case Presentation: A 42-year-old Caucasian man presented with ankle pain and painful range of motion 20 months following ankle trauma. Distal tibiofibular synostosis was identified, and our patient was successfully treated by simultaneous synostosis takedown and peroneus longus ligamentoplasty for distal tibiofibular syndesmosis repair.
Conclusions: Our experience illustrates that in cases of painful posttraumatic distal tibiofibular synostosis, simultaneous synostosis resection with peroneus longus ligamentoplasty may show good clinical results.
Level Of Evidence: 5.

Background: This study compared outcomes at 18 months between patients who underwent transtibial amputation with and without a tibiofibular synostosis procedure. We hypothesized that complication rates would be lower in patients who did not receive a synostosis procedure compared with those who did receive a synostosis procedure, but the synostosis group would report better function.
Methods: This multicenter randomized clinical trial (RCT) included patients aged 18 to 60 years who were treated without (n = 52) or with synostosis (n = 54) during transtibial amputation.

This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of partial bridging and synostosis in the distal tibiofibular joint after surgically treated ankle fractures and determine possible risk factors. In this retrospective study, patients admitted to our hospital with ankle trauma between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2020, who were operated on for an ankle fracture and had a follow-up period of at least 1 year, were included. Patients underwent anteroposterior, lateral, and mortise radiographs of the ankle and low-dose computed tomography postoperatively.

Objective: Although several reconstructive methods have been developed to manage large segmental tibial bone defects including bone transport (distraction osteogenesis), contralateral fibular graft, allograft, tibiofibular synostosis, Masquelet technique, and 3D printed scaffold, neglected large tibial defects in adults remain challenging problems. This study describes gradual transverse transport of naturally tibialized fibula using hexapod frames in management of adult patients with neglected large tibial defects.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed four cases of transverse transport of naturally tibialized fibula from November 2018 to February 2022.

Isolated congenital pseudarthrosis of the fibula is a rare entity with a limited number of cases reported in the literature. Treatment is challenging because of recalcitrant nonunion and because no consensus about the best treatment plan exists. We report a case of isolated congenital fibular pseudarthrosis with valgus deformity of the ankle.
