Ankle fractures are among the most common surgically treated fractures. The incidence of syndesmotic injury in ankle fractures is 13%-20%. ⋯ Recently, a suture button-type device has been used instead of the traditional trans-syndesmotic screw-type fixation. This case-based video demonstrates a technique for using suture button-type devices to repair syndesmotic ankle injuries and presents the data regarding the outcomes of this novel technique.
