Embodiments relate to implantable devices for the treatment of syndesmosis injuries. Embodiments include a first anchor attachable to a first bone, the first anchor being coupled to a flexible component, the flexible component in turn being coupled to a base component. The base component may be rigid, and may be externally threaded for engaging with a second anchor. Position of the second anchor may be adjusted by rotating the second anchor with respect to the base component, thereby adjusting relative position of the two bones. An assembly may be created in which an outer tube contains the flexible component and the base component inside the outer tube, and at its distal end the outer tube may engage the first anchor so as to allow transmission of torque. The outer tube may be withdrawn proximally after implantation of the first anchor. The bones may be a tibia and a fibula.
