Proposed Classification of Syndesmotic Soft Tissue Impingement and Its Association With Lateral Talar Cartilage Lesions

Syndesmotic impingement syndrome has been described to explain persistent lateral or anterolateral ankle pain. This condition is thought to often result from a rotational ankle injury. This study aimed to identify the type of syndesmotic impingement tissue according to arthroscopic and histologic findings and to analyze its association with lateral talar cartilage lesions.
