Prospective study of ankle injury in high level athlete in INSEP: Incidence of the lesion of the distal
tibiofibular syndesmosis (DTFS)
Frey Alain
and
Papon Pierre
INSEP, France
Purpose:
The lesions of DFTS are often unknown during ankle trauma. We wanted to see the incidence of this lesion and to validate
the specific clinical signs.
Materials & Methods:
Between March, 2015 and March, 2016, we included any ankle trauma of our high-level sportsmen. They all
benefited from an initial clinical examination diligently of the Ottawa rules and an ultrasound realized in 3 days. If there was a lesion
of the AITFL in ultrasound, MRI and stress radiographies were realized. A protocol of treatment was proposed: functional treatment
if distension of AITFL, hiking boots if isolated rupture of AITFL, plaster if rupture of AITFL and lesion of inter osseous membrane
without diastasis, surgery if diastasis. All were seen again on day 8 with re-education, day 30 and between 4 and 6 months after their
trauma.
Results:
126 ankle sprains were analyzed (77 M, 49 F) with 28 lesions of DFTS (22.2 %). On day 8, the sensibility and the specificity of
the main clinical signs were: AITFL palpation (0.94/0.86), lateral rotation test (0.72/0.97), dorsal flexion compression test (0.72/0.97),
squeeze test (0.24/0.97). In ultrasound as in MRI, besides the AITFL, are observed 8 inter-osseous membranes lesions, one PITFL
lesion, 2 anterior MCL lesions and 8 TFA lesions, 15 functional treatments, 8 hiking boots and 5 plasters. The return to sport at the
same level was made between 3 and 12 weeks according to the gravity.
Conclusion:
This ligament lesion is frequent and affects several sports. The clinical examination repeated on day 8, coupled with
ultrasound, seems to be the best compromise to adapt the management.
