0 a joint where two bones are held together by ligaments (= strong strips of tissue):
Some ankle fractures have an associated injury to the syndesmosis.
Syndesmosis procedure is one of the more than 20 different bunion surgeries currently being performed by surgeons around the world.
This damages the ligaments on the inside of the ankle and fractures the fibula at the point of contact (usually just above the tibiofibular syndesmosis).
Syndesmosis procedure is one of few surgical techniques that use a soft tissue or non-osteotomy (non-bone-breaking) approach to afford the same correction.
It is the main part of the radio-ulnar syndesmosis, a fibrous joint between the two bones.
It is continuous below with the interosseous ligament of the tibiofibular syndesmosis, and presents numerous perforations for the passage of small vessels.
The ulna and radius too are elongated and not very firmly connected to each other in a syndesmosis.
This ligament spans the syndesmosis, which is the term for the articulation between the medial aspect of the distal fibula and the lateral aspect of the distal tibia.
Syndesmosis itself is a normal anatomical structure for the purpose of connecting two parallel long bones side by side, such as the tibia and fibula bones.
