SUMMARY Rotational ankle fractures are often accompanied with a syndesmotic injury. Furthermore, malreduction of syndesmosis and fibular shortening are frequent errors observed in these cases and often lead to poor functional outcomes. We present a case of Weber C lateral malleolus fracture and distal tibiofibular syndesmotic injury in an active 23-year-old patient. Various techniques for syndesmotic reduction and restoration of fibular length are discussed and demonstrated.
