[The effect of ligament calcification following syndesmolysis on pseudoarthrosis of the median malleolus].
The development of the false joint of the medial malleolus of 16 patients has been followed by the authors at the least for 13 years. It was found that in the cases, in which the fracture of the medial malleolus was concomitant with syndesmolysis, recovery of the false joint occured in the cases, in which in the place of the syndesmolysis calcification appeared, which brought the lateral cutting effect in the talo-crural joint to an end.
