Syndesmotic Implant Removal: Does It Really Improve Ankle Dorsiflexion Range of Motion?

Syndesmotic Implant Removal: Does It Really Improve Ankle Dorsiflexion Range of Motion?

Category: Ankle Introduction/Purpose: There is limited evidence that removal of syndesmotic implants is beneficial. Despite this, many surgeons advocate removal based on previous studies suggesting improved ankle dorsiflexion. Methodologic difficulties make the validity and applicability of previous...
