About This Trial
The main aim of this study was to investigate which strategy can diagnose more accurately syndesmotic instability among an existing index test (ankle CT in neutral position) and two new add-on index tests (ankle CT in a stress position with extended-knees and ankle CT in a stress position with flexed-knees). This study hypothesized that the two add-on ankle CT with stress maneuvers (CTSM) have a m…
