Differences in gait analysis and clinical outcome after TightRope ® or screw fixation in acute syndesmosis rupture: study protocol for a prospective randomized pilot study

DiscussionThe results of the gait analysis from the current study will help to impartially and reliably evaluate the clinical and biomechanical outcome of both treatment options of acute syndesmosis ruptures. We hypothesize that the dynamic fixation provides an equivalent or better biomechanical, clinical, and radiographic outcome in comparison to the screw fixation.Trial registrationGerman Clinical Trials Register (DRKS)DRKS00013562.
