Pronation-eversion fractures of the distal tibial articular department are among the most common types of injuries. This injury is usually accompanied by a partial or total damage of the distal tibio-fibular syndesmosis. The problem of treatment of fractures of distal articular end of osses cruris and old damages of distal tibio-fibular syndesmosis is shown in this article. The features of transosseos osteosynthesis with the use of apparatus of external fixation in patients with that fractures are shown in this article. The treatment of 44 patients with old damages of the distal tibio-fibular syndesmosis is analysed.
Key words: ankle joint, old damages of distal tibio-fibular syndesmosis, transosseos osteosynthesis, apparatus of external fixation.
