  • Title: LisFranc Fusion.
    Author: Jonard B, Wroblewski A, Junko J.
    Journal: J Orthop Trauma; 2019 Aug; 33 Suppl 1():S42-S43. PubMed ID: 31290835.
    Abstract:
    Lisfranc injuries remain a frequently missed pathology and may present as an isolated injury or as a component of a polytrauma case. Weight-bearing films or advanced imaging such as CT may be imperative in identifying or further classifying the injury. Common indications for fusion after lisfranc injury include primarily ligamentous injuries, delayed/chronic presentations, or post-traumatic arthritis, although primary fusion in the setting of acute fracture may be considered as an alternative to open reduction internal fixation techniques. The primary goals of surgery are to provide stability to the midfoot and restoration of the anatomical arch/cascade. The purpose of this video is to demonstrate a technique for tarsometatarsal joint fusion in the setting of acute lisfranc injury. This technique may be used for both ligamentous as well as bony varieties.
