  • Experience of rehabilitation treatment for one patient with distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury triad after the second surgery

    Objective To investigate the rehabilitation treatment methods for distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury triad after the second surgery. Methods We reported the postsurgical rehabilitation treatment for a 16-year-old male who received second surgery for internal fixation screw rupture on August 20th 2014, due to weight bearing too early after his first surgery in March 2014 for distal tibiofibular syndesmosis diastasis combined with lateral malleolus fracture, ligamenta talofibulare anterius and deltoid ligament rupture. The patient was treated in the Rehabilitation Center of National Sports Training Center on September 25th, 2014. By analyzing the rehabilitation assessment results, a secondary ankle impingement syndrome was detected and following modified treatments were implemented. Results At the end of the first course of treatment, right ankle muscle strength, range of motion and Y balance tests were all weaker than the left. At the end of the second course of treatment, all data were better than the first course. At the end of the third course, all data were close to normal value except the right leg forward squat. Conclusions Through comprehensive rehabilitation, assessment feedback and further treatment improvement, complex cases like distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury triad after second injury can be well handled. However, more cases should be collected and investigated.
