Foot and Ankle Fellowship Forum: Syndesmotic Reduction—My Preferred Approach

Eric Giza, MD (Sacramento, CA), discusses his approach to syndesmotic reduction. Indications and technique pearls for the TightRope XP™ suspensory fixation and the AITFL InternalBrace™ surgical technique are discussed.

The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue approximation during the healing period and is not intended as a replacement for the native ligament. The InternalBrace technique is for use during soft tissue-to-bone fixation procedures and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.
