Syndesmosis injury: Fibulo-tibial positioning screw
Some surgeons prefer two small fragment screws as syndesmotic screws, especially in high fibular fractures, such as the Maisonneuve injury. Prepare and insert the second positioning screw as described above, parallel to, and 1.5–2 cm proximal to, the first screw.
