(1-3,5,6,11) With excessive external rotation of the forefoot, the talus is forced against the medial aspect of the fibula, resulting in separation of the distal tibia and fibula and injury to the syndesmotic ligaments.

Using metal trans-syndesmosis screw was the most popular and mainstream approach to restore syndesmotic stability, although there is a lot of published information about malreduction of the syndesmotic screw and alternatives to syndesmotic screw fixation.[7],[8],[9],[10],[11],[12],[13] Intraoperative stress testing is recommended for diagnosing syndesmotic disruption or instability.

For the Agility[TM] system, unique characteristics of the surgical technique include use of an external fixator to provide distraction and correction of alignment during implantation, as well as dependence upon syndesmotic arthrodesis for tibial component fixation.

The use of these screws appears to be a valid option in the fixation of syndesmotic injuries after a Bosworth dislocation.
Bosworth Dislocation without Associated Fracture
Syndesmosis injuries arise in 10–15% of all patients with ankle fractures.[sup][5] Several authors have demonstrated that restoration of the syndesmosis as well as anatomic reduction of any associated fracture of the fibula or the medial malleolus is equally important.[sup][6] The literature showed that widening and chronic instability of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis have been correlated with poor functional outcomes and the development of osteoarthritis.[sup][7] Therefore, the surgical fixation is usually recommended for the treatment of syndesmotic injuries.
