(A) A 32-year-old male sustained a high energy fracture dislocation of his ankle. (B) Despite anatomic reduction of the fracture, radiological evidence of posttraumatic arthritis is observed 2 years after surgery.

Complication derived from poor surgical technique. (A) The distal tibiofibular syndesmosis was not adequately reduced. The syndesmotic screw was too short, cancellous, and placed too high. (B) Despite subsequent reduction of the syndesmosis (C) the patient developed degenerative osteoarthritis.
