Official Title: Bilateral External Torque CT, a Novel Diagnostic Tool for Detection of Syndesmotic Insufficiency
Brief Summary:
Study population: the investigator set them sample size to 30 patients.Primary endpoint (concerning both study questions): is the applied torque measurement in Newton meters (maximum up to 7.5 Nm) up to the pain tolerance limit.For the chronic injuries, a minimum of 5 Nm should be achieved.If this is not possible due to pain, an intra-articular infiltration into the upper ankle joint with 5ml Ropivacaine 2% is performed under sterile conditions.In addition, fibula translation while exercising the maximum tolerated…
