the syndesmosis procedure, to the popular bone-breaking surgeries
“Syndesmosis”
is a normal anatomical structure in human body to connect and stabilize
two parallel long bones. Syndesmosis procedure was designed to
reproduce this connecting structure. The syndesmosis concept has been
evolved from the understanding that the true cause of bunion deformity
lies in the malfunctioning of the ligaments rather than any real bone
deformities. If bones are normal, then no bones should ever need to be
broken unless absolutely necessary. The non-bone-breaking syndesmosis
procedure aims to re-align and then also re-stabilize the displaced but
normal bones of the bunion foot. It can do so by tying the displaced and
loose first metatarsal bone to the adjacent second metatarsal bone and
then also by creating a syndesmosis fibrous bridge to connect and
stabilize it to the second metatarsal bone also to prevent deformity
recurrence.
