Fig. 3From: Open versus minimally invasive fixation of a simulated syndesmotic injury in a cadaver model a Anterolateral skin incision over the distal fibula and syndesmosis carried out more proximally to allow dissection of the interosseous membrane. The lamina spreader was used to visualize the PITFL and transect it. b Medial skin incision was made to transect the deltoid ligament. c External rotation stress view confirming instabilityBack to article page
