“…Before arthroscopy, and 6 months after reconstruction, we assessed the function of the ankle with the squeeze test, the external rotation test, and the fibula translation test, as well as the Tegneractivity level score (Tegner and Lysholm 1985), the Karlsson (1991) score, the Sefton et al (1979) score, and the Ankle-Hindfoot scale (Kitaoka et al 1994). About 6 weeks after the arthroscopy, reconstruction of the anterior syndesmosis was performed by medialization and cranialization of the tibial insertion of the slack anterior tibiofibular ligament, after a syndesmotic set screw was placed during compression of the mortise (Beumer et al 2000).…”
