Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Case Description
Ankle fractures are common injuries. If an ankle fracture is combined with tibiofibular syndesmosis separation, then tibiofibular transfixation should be used to stabilize the syndesmosis; in such cases, flexible (suture-button) fixation is an option. We surgically treated a male patient's unstable ankle fracture with internal fixation devices, including a suture-button fixator, and observed the development of a flexor hallucis longus checkrein deformity in the postoperative period. The aim of this report is to describe this rare postoperative complication associated with the use of suture-button transfixation of the tibiofibular syndesmosis.
