Goal.The goal of our research was to make an analysis of the literature, related to the problem of fixation of syndesmosis rupture in conjunction with fractures of middle and upper part of the fibula, and to represent case series of such patients treated with our method - combined syndesmosis screw and suture-button.Materials and methods. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in the electronic databases PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews CyberLeninka.
