Strength of suture-button fixation versus ligament reconstruction in syndesmotic injury: a biomechanical study

ConclusionThe stability of the suture-button fixation was equivalent to ligament reconstruction using semitendinosus tendon autograft in treatment of syndesmotic injury as determined with biomechanical testing. However, this study does not prove that one is advantageous over the other.
