Normal syndesmosis anatomy and alignment are essential to ankle function. Although injuries to the syndesmosis are common with ankle injuries, accurate diagnosis and reduction continue to be a challenge. Late reconstruction for syndesmosis is reviewed. A surgical technique for late reconstruction is outlined in detail.
