- Title
The ankle syndesmosis pivot shift "Are we reviving the ACL story?".
- Authors
Tampere, Thomas; D'Hooghe, Pieter
- Abstract
In recent literature, there is a growing interest for the high ankle sprain with emerging evidence on biomechanical behavior, function, injury, and treatment. Interpretation of emerging publications on the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis may raise questions about striking similarities with the anterior cruciate ligament function and pivot-shift mechanism of injury in the knee. This editorial note puts to question whether identical entities, a continuum or separate injuries are faced by contemplating on the mechanism of injury, diagnostics, treatment, and outcome.
