WHAT DOES SYNDESMOSIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Syndesmosis

A syndesmosis is a slightly movable articulation where the contiguous bony surfaces are united by an interosseous ligament, as in the inferior tibiofibular articulation. It comes from the Greek σύν, syn and δεσμός, desmos. If the syndesmosis is torn apart as result of bone fracture, surgeons will sometimes fix the relevant bones together with a syndesmotic screw, temporarily replacing the syndesmosis, or a with a tightrope fixation. The screw inhibits normal movement of the bones and, thereby, the corresponding joint. When the natural articulation is healed, the screw may be removed. The tightrope fixation with elastic fiberwire suture on the other hand allows physiologic motion of the ankle and may be permanent.

Definition of syndesmosis in the English dictionary

The definition of syndesmosis in the dictionary is a type of joint in which the articulating bones are held together by a ligament of connective tissue.
