Background: Screw fixation of syndesmotic injuries facilitates ligament healing and restoration of ankle stability, but failure of the screw might threaten the success of the treatment. Screw design parameters, such as outer diameter, inner diameter, thread pitch, leading edge radius, trailing edge radius, leading edge angle, and trailing edge angle, might have effects on the stresses that occur in the screws. This is the first study, to our knowledge, to investigate which geometric screw parameters play key roles in stresses that occur in screws used for syndesmotic fixation.
