Inclusion Criteria: * Skeletally mature * Patients with unilateral, acute, displaced ankle fractures with preoperative evidence of syndesmotic disruption or intraoperative evidence of syndesmotic instability following malleolar fixation. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients skeletally immature; * Patients less than age 18 years and more than age 75; * Patients with previous ankle trauma to either ankle; * Patients with bilateral ankle injuries; * Patients with previous osseous injuries to the tibia or fibula; and * Patients with isolated syndesmotic injury and no fracture (i.e. high ankle sprains)
