Weighted means of the arthroscopic diastasis measurements in the coronal plane
Number of transected ligaments | Anterior incisura (range of means) (mm) | Posterior incisura (range of means) (mm) |
---|---|---|
Intact | 1.4 (0.8–2) | 2.1 (1.3–3.3) |
One ligament | 2.0 (1.4–3) | 2.6 (1.6–3.6) |
Two ligaments | 2.4 (1.7–3.8) | 3.3 (2.1–4.4) |
Three ligaments | 3.0 (2–5) | 3.7 (2.4–5) |
Syndesmotic instability value* | 2.9 (1.6–4.7) | 3.4 (2.4–4.4) |
*The syndesmotic instability weighted mean value was calculated using the tibiofibular displacement values from those injury patterns that showed a significant difference from the intact state
