SER type

Syndesmosis injury

A syndesmosis is slightly movable articulation where the contiguous bony surfaces are united by an interosseous ligament or membrane as in the inferior tibiofibular articulation

Hypothesis

Bony attenuation vs Syndesmosis

Hypothesis

Bony attenuation vs Syndesmosis

Patients

Patents : ankle Fx. c OP in our hospital From Mar. 2006 to Feb. 2013 1109 cases

Inclusion SER type Preoperative X-ray, 3D-CT

Exclusion Direct injury, anatomical deformity Inadequate radiography

Measurement Method

3-Dimension CT X-ray (Mortise view)

Radiographic measurement

Fracture height Fracture length Medial joint space Bony attenuation

Fracture height

Medial joint space

Fracture length

Bony attenuation (Lat. Malleolus)

Bony attenuation (Med. Malleolus)

Fracture height

Medial joint space

Statistical Method

median, interquatile range(IQR) and pro-portions

Kolmogogrov-Smirnov test Univariate analyses (Mann-Whitney U

test or chi-square exact test) receiver operating characteristic (ROC)

curve Delong’s test detect the significant of the area under the

curve (AUC)
