Shapes of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis are associated with risk of recurrent lateral ankle sprains

Abstract Distal tibiofibular syndesmosis (DTS) has wide anatomic variability in depth of incisura fibularis and shape of tibial tubercles. We designed a 3-year prospective cohort study of 300 young physical training soldiers in an Army Physical Fitness School. Ankle computed tomography (CT) scans sh...
