In the setting of ankle trauma, surgical management of syndesmosis injury involves screw fixation and suture button technique. The efficacy of flexible (suture button) versus rigid (screw) fixation in the management of syndesmotic injury has been investigated extensively in current literature. There is sparse data comparing these two techniques across different body mass indices (BMI).

Article Synopsis
- - A study evaluated the effectiveness of a suture-button device for treating 32 patients with isolated syndesmotic injuries, aiming to improve ankle function compared to traditional screw fixation methods.
- - Results showed significant reductions in pain and improvements in overall ankle function, as measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores, with outcomes similar to uninjured ankles after 2 years.
- - The suture-button system allowed for early weight-bearing and quick return to daily activities without complications, demonstrating good stability and patient satisfaction post-surgery.

Background: We evaluated whether the quality of syndesmotic reduction affects the short-term clinical outcomes of flexible fixation in patients with a rotational ankle fracture.
Methods: This study included 59 patients (32 men and 27 women) who underwent syndesmotic flexible fixation. The degree of syndesmotic reduction was evaluated on computed tomography (CT) images acquired within 3 days after surgery.
A Novel Flexible Fixation Method for Syndesmotic Injury.

Department of Hand, Foot and Microsurgery, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, Qingdao City, Shandong Province, China.
Background: This study aims to evaluate the results and the safety of a novel fixation method we developed for syndesmosis injuries that we call the "embrace" technique.
Methods: Between March 2018 and October 2020, a total of 67 patients with ankle fractures and syndesmotic injuries underwent syndesmosis fixation with the embrace technique at our institute. Plain radiographs and computed tomographic (CT) scans were obtained preoperatively.
