Anatomical and histologic investigation of the syndesmotic area in the ankle joint

KA Sabacinski, JH Walter and GM Saffo
Department of Surgery, New England Deaconess Hospital, Boston, MA.

The syndesmotic area in the ankle joint is analyzed by reviewing the literature and by examining its gross anatomy and histology. Seventy-five ankles were dissected and examined, with an emphasis on the syndesmotic area. The gross anatomical results of this study differ somewhat with those of other authors. The average height, attachments, consistency, color, and shape are reported. In addition to gross examination, four ankles were examined histologically, and the findings are discussed. The results of this study define in detail the anatomy of the syndesmotic area.
