  3. Why did this fail?

  4. Any experience with Zwipp syndesmotic ligament reconstruction?

  5. Painful synostosis

  6. Proximal tib fib dislocation

  7. Does distal joint need stabilizing?

  8. Dilemma: the high shaft fracture

  9. Revision ORIF with fibular osteotomy

  10. Revision ORIF with syndesmotic fusion

  11. Dilemma: The high fibula fracture

  12. Can syndesmosis can be overtightened?

  13. Take home message • Fibular length and rotation are key • Posterior malleolus reduction is key • Need to address length, rotation, medial/lateral stability, rotational stability • Many syndesmotic fixation options are available and all seem to work as long as these principles are respected
