Never Miss An Ankle Syndesmosis Injury Again!

from The New Grad Physio Podcast · host Andy Barker

Many therapists struggle with ankle syndesmosis injuries... Often incorrectly diagnosing them as lateral ankle injuries, like an ATFL or CFL injury, but this is a BIG issue... As they need to be managed very differently! This area of the ankle is often glossed over at Uni so it is no great surprise you might struggle to differentiate syndesmosis injuries to other lateral ankle injuries. The ankle is a relatively simple joint, that moves up and down, and the mechanisms of injuries are often clear for both lateral ankle (inversion) and syndesmosis injuries (dorsiflexion and external rotation)... So why do so many therapists get it wrong? Find out in this week's podcast episode... And learn the one ankle syndesmosis test you need to know! Enjoy the show! PS. I'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast. Please leave a review or get in touch at [email protected] and he will get right back to you. PPS.
