    AbstractTibiofibular fixation using suture-button implants is an optional method for the surgical treatment of syndesmosis injuries. Although good clinical outcomes have been reported, inadequate stability between the tibia and fibula has also been documented. Thus, suture-button fixation is not considered the reference standard. For surgical treatment of lateral ligament injuries of the ankle, good treatment outcomes have also been reported with ligament augmentation using nonabsorbable suture tape. Ligament augmentation tape with suture-button fixation could also be promising for improved treatment outcomes in syndesmosis injuries. We describe suture-button fixation together with mini-open anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament augmentation using suture tape for treatment of syndesmosis injuries.Copyright © 2017 American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons.
