Abstract:[Objective] To design a reduction forceps of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis with the anatomical characteristics of Chinese people through digital orthopedics, and verify its superiority by a cadaveric comparative study, so as to provide theoretical basis for clinical application. [Methods] CT data of 60 normal Chinese ankle joints were imported into Mimics software. The center point of tibiofibula was marked on the horizontal plane 1.5 cm above the ankle point, and the line of tibiofibular center point was the central force line. Then the medial side of the tibia was divided into three equal parts, and the intersection point of the middle and front 1/3 was marked as point P. The relationship between the projection point O and point P was analyzed statistically. A circle 1cm in diameter centered on the O point was drawn, the curvature of the circle on the tibial surface was calculated, and a circular chuck was printed by 3D printing to make the reduction forceps. Ten fresh cadavers were divided into normal group, injured group and reduced group to compare the effect of the reduction forceps. [Results] The OP value was (0.7±0.4) mm, point O was regarded as point P, and the tibial surface curvature of point P was (1.722±0.025)°, so the reduction forceps was made based on the anatomy around point P. Compared with the normal group, the tibiofibular overlap (TFO) in the injured group decreased significantly, while compared with the injured group, the TFO increased significantly in the reduced group [(7.3±0.5) mm vs (4.8±0.4) mm vs (7.1±0.4) mm, P=0.019]. Compared with the normal group, the tibiofibular clear space (TFCS) increased significantly in the injured group, whereas compared with the injured group, TFCS decreased significantly in reduced group [(5.3±0.4) mm vs (7.9±0.4) mm vs (5.0±0.6) mm, P=0.003]. Compared with the normal group, the medial clear space (MCS) in the injured group significantly increased, while compared with the injured group, the MCS in the reduced group decreased significantly [(3.4±0.4) mm vs (5.7±0.3) mm vs (3.6±0.3) mm, P=0.032]. Compared with the normal group, the tibiofibular distance (TFD) in the injured group was significantly increased, while compared with the injured group the TFD in the reduced group was significantly decreased [(3.4±0.3) mm vs (7.1±0.5) mm vs (3.1±0.2) mm, P=0.016]. Compared with the injured group, the fibular rotation angle was significantly declined in the reduced group [(5.8±0.5)° vs (3.8±0.8)°, P= 0.026]. However, there were no significant differences in TFO, TFCS, MCS and TFD between normal group and reduced group (P>0.05). [Conclusion] The tibiofibular central force point in the horizontal plane 1.5 cm above the ankle point was located at the intersection of the anterior-middle third of the medial tibia.The new type of syndesmotic reduction forceps conforms to the anatomical characteristics of Chinese people, and has good clamping effect.
