Akut Sindesmoz Yaralanmaları
Özet
Akut sindesmoz yaralanmaları, özellikle sporcularda sık görülen ve genellikle dış rotasyon ile hiperdorsifleksiyon mekanizmalarıyla ortaya çıkan heterojen ayak bileği yaralanmalarıdır. Teşhis edilmediğinde kronik instabilite ve erken osteoartrite yol açabilen bu klinik durum, klinik muayenenin yanı sıra sıkma ve dış rotasyon gibi manevra testleri ile değerlendirilir; tanısal süreç standart radyografiler, BT, ultrasonografi ve yüksek sensitiviteye sahip MRG ile desteklenir. Tedavi yaklaşımı bağ stabilitesine göre belirlenmekte olup stabilize yaralanmalarda uzun rehabilitasyon süreçlerini içeren konservatif yöntemler başarı sağlarken, instabil durumlarda fibulanın anatomik redüksiyonunun şart olduğu vida veya sütür-buton fiksasyonu gibi cerrahi müdahaleler endikedir. Postoperatif dönemde yük verme ve implant tahliyesi zamanlaması tartışmalı bir konu olup süreçte malredüksiyon, implant yetmezliği ve heterotopik ossifikasyon gibi önemli komplikasyonlar gelişebilir.
Acute syndesmosis injuries are common ankle injuries especially among athletes, typically resulting from external rotation and hyperdorsiflexion mechanisms. These injuries, which can lead to chronic instability and early osteoarthritis if left undiagnosed, are evaluated through physical examination maneuvers such as the squeeze and external rotation tests, and the diagnostic process is supported by standard radiographs, CT, ultrasonography, and high-sensitivity MRI. The treatment approach is determined based on ligament stability; conservative methods involving long rehabilitation periods yield good results in stable injuries, whereas surgical interventions like screw or suture-button fixation are indicated in unstable cases where anatomic reduction of the fibula is mandatory. Postoperative weight-bearing and the timing of implant removal remain controversial, and significant complications such as malreduction, implant failure, and heterotopic ossification may occur during the process.
