Neither the dissection of the syndesmosis nor the osteotomy of the posterior malleolus significantly influenced the position of the fibula in the incisura tibiofibularis in the cadaveric model. However, in the nonweight-bearing situation, a lesion of the syndesmotic complex might not be evident in intraoperative three-dimensional imaging.
