Novel Dynamic Screw-Suture Stabilization System for Syndesmotic Repair Provides Better Anteroposterior Translation and Axial Tibiofibular Joint Stability: A Human Cadaveric Study

Video Summary

In this video, Mike Swords presents a project called the Novel Dynamic Screw Suture Stabilization System for Sinus Monic Repair. This system provides screw fixation and suture flexibility, allowing for precise anatomical fixation of the sinus monic. It reduces complications in revision surgeries and addresses limitations of other constructs. The study aims to evaluate the performance of the screw suture device versus a suture button device for stabilizing length-unstable fibular fractures in a human cadaveric model. Through biomechanical testing and CT scanning, the screw suture device showed better anteroposterior and axial tibiofibular joint stability compared to the suture button device. It concludes that the screw suture reconstruction is a valid option for treating syndesmotic disruptions. The research was conducted with co-authors and the AO Research Institute in Davos.
