About
Dr. Vivienne Hoell is a leading orthopedic researcher specializing in syndesmotic injuries and ankle biomechanics. Her work focuses on comparing rigid and dynamic fixation techniques for the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis, a critical area for ankle stability. In her landmark 2025 study, "Flexible Syndesmotic Reconstruction with Two Suture Buttons Provides Equal Stability Compared to Syndesmotic Screws: A Biomechanical Study," Dr. Hoell utilized a six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm on 14 human cadaveric specimens to demonstrate that dynamic reconstruction with suture buttons offers comparable stability to traditional syndesmotic screws. This finding has significant clinical implications, potentially reducing hardware-related complications and the need for secondary removal surgeries. Although her most-cited paper currently holds 1 citation, its recent publication underscores the emerging impact of her work. Dr. Hoell’s research bridges the gap between biomechanical rigor and surgical innovation, providing evidence that supports less invasive, more patient-friendly approaches. Her contributions are shaping the future of ankle surgery, offering new insights into optimizing recovery and long-term outcomes for patients with syndesmotic injuries.
