Assessment of Ability of 3D Fluorscopy in Aiding Accurate Syndesmotic Reduction Following Traumatic Ankle Injury

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Displaced Ankle Fractures

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine if use of new imaging technology termed "3D fluoroscopy" will lead the surgeon to change the position of the fractured bones to a more accurate position.
