A Cadaveric Study: Does Deltoid Ligament Repair Impact the Quality of Syndesmotic Reduction?
In this cadaveric study, DLR did not significantly improve syndesmotic reduction quality compared to reductions performed without DLR. Relative internal rotation of the fibula was observed after DLR, perhaps due to prevention of talar external rotation and tensioning of the medial side during syndesmotic reduction.
