  • Title: The Role of Percutaneous Reduction and Fixation of Lisfranc Injuries.
    Author: Puna RA, Tomlinson MP.
    Journal: Foot Ankle Clin; 2017 Mar; 22(1):15-34. PubMed ID: 28167060.
    Abstract:
    To be able to perform percutaneous fixation of Lisfranc injuries, this article emphasizes that an anatomic reduction must be mandatory. When uncertainty remains as to whether closed reduction is anatomic, formal open reduction is recommended because accuracy of reduction is correlated with long-term outcome. Closed injuries with minimal displacement, bony avulsions, and skeletally immature individuals seem the most appropriate indications for percutaneous fixation. Not all injuries are ideal for this method of treatment, and this is an area that needs to be more clearly defined in the future.
