A member asked:
Still having moderate swelling and pain in my ankle joint after an avulsion of the distal fibula and sydesmotic rupture after 2 months. is symptoms likely?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Syndesmosis=stable: If the syndesmosis was disrupted and not repaired you can expect persistent pain secondary to instability of the ankle joint with lateral subluxation of the talus. Check with your orthopod since it might be a little late in the game already.
