  • Title: Tarsometatarsal Arthrodesis for Lisfranc Injuries.
    Author: Bevilacqua NJ.
    Journal: Clin Podiatr Med Surg; 2017 Jul; 34(3):315-325. PubMed ID: 28576191.
    Abstract:
    This article discusses tarsometatarsal arthrodesis for Lisfranc injuries. Although open reduction and internal fixation has traditionally been the treatment of choice for most Lisfranc fracture-dislocations, there is a trend toward primary fusion, especially for purely ligamentous injuries. Consideration should be made for primary fusion in select fracture-dislocation cases. Primary fusion offers a single-stage alternative with potentially more stable, predictable results overtime.
