Statistical Shape Model-Based Tibiofibular Assessment of Syndesmotic Ankle Lesions using Weightbearing CT

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Mathias Piper, an orthopedic surgery resident, presents a study on ligamentous injuries in the ankle joint. He discusses the importance of ankle stability and the occurrence of ankle sprains. He explains the limitations of current imaging techniques and introduces a new approach using weight-bearing imaging and ligamentous morphometry. The study involves constructing a statistical shape model of the ankle joint and analyzing ligament injuries in patients with syndesmotic ankle sprains. The results show significant differences in ligament length between control cases and those with syndesmotic injuries. The study aims to help identify specific ligament patterns that lead to malreduced syndesmotic joints and potentially prevent post-traumatic osteoarthritis.
