Postoperative Computed Tomography Detection of Syndesmotic Malreduction in Ankle Fractures

Completed
View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
This prospective observational cohort study aims to evaluate the ability of postoperative plain radiographs to detect syndesmotic reduction accuracy in patients with ankle fractures requiring syndesmotic fixation. All included patients have acceptable postoperative radiographs according to standard radiographic criteria and undergo postoperative computed tomography to further assess syndesmotic reduction. Functional outcomes are assessed at one year following surgery using a standardized ankle functional score. The study seeks to explore the association between computed tomography-detected syndesmotic malreduction and postoperative functional outcome.
