Ortho | Syndesmosis Tightrope Implant

The Syndesmosis Tightrope is a specialized surgical fixation technique designed to permanently repair severe sprains of the syndesmosis ligament in the ankle. This ligament is crucial for maintaining stability between the two bones of the lower leg, the tibia and fibula.

Dr. Aaron Schwartz utilizes this innovative technique to ensure a secure and effective repair, promoting optimal recovery and restoring function to the ankle. The Syndesmosis Tightrope method allows for precise alignment and stabilization, reducing the risk of complications and enhancing healing.
