[Rotatory instability of the ankle: an experimental investigation of tibio-fibular syndesmosis function].
The influence of sectioning of different parts of tibiofibular syndesmosis on stability of the ankle in 10 anatomical preparations is presented. Sectioning of the anterior tibiofibular ligament increased rotational potential of the talus from 0.3 degree to 2.8 degrees. Sectioning of the tibiofibular syndesmosis allowed for further increase of rotation from 1.8 degrees to 4.9 degrees.
