Injury to the syndesmotic ligaments can lead to prolonged functional limitations if not diagnosed and treated appropriately. Obesity has been studied in relation to syndesmotic instability but there is a paucity of literature investigating syndesmotic risk associated with other bone fragility characteristics. Additionally, ankle injury complexity associated with risk of Charcot in patients with syndesmotic injury remains unstudied.
