Does Intraoperative 3D Fluoroscopy Accurately Assess Syndesmotic Reduction Following Traumatic Ankle Injury?
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating 2D Fluoroscopy and 3D Fluoroscopy for Displaced Ankle Fractures. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if use of new imaging technology termed "3D fluoroscopy" will lead the surgeon to change the position of the fractured bones to a more accurate position.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Patients with syndesmotic instability will undergo reduction of the syndesmosis followed by provisional fixation with a clamp or Kirshner wire. The reduction quality will be initially compared to the contralateral ankle mortise and talar-dome lateral radiographs using the technique of Summers et al i.e. 2D Fluoroscopy using device Ziehm Vision RFD 3D image-intensified fluoroscopic x-ray system.
After the attending surgeon is satisfied with the reduction quality from 2D Fluoroscopy, 3D fluoroscopy using device Ziehm Vision RFD 3D image-intensified fluoroscopic x-ray system will be used to generate additional images to assess syndesmotic and fibular reductions.
