Introduction
• Uncommon Injuries
• Highly Variable Injuries• Trauma• Sports
• Associated with other injuries

Osseous Stabilizing Structures
• Middle cuneiform is recessed proximally
11/21/2016 5
Ligamentous Stabilizing Structures
• Intertarsal
•Lisfranc
Inter-cuneiform instability

Significance of Lisfranc Injuries
• Soft tissue injury
• Minimal bony displacement may understate ligamentous injury
11/21/2016 8
Significance of Injury
• Diagnosis is missed or delayed in up to 20% of cases
• Litigation
11/21/2016 9
Impact of Injury
• It’s a Lisfranc until proven otherwise

Normal x-rays
11/21/2016 11
Normal x-rays
Lateral: A metatarsal should never be more dorsal than its respective tarsal bone

• Dynamic Joints• Weight bearing radiographs crucial

Closed Reduction
• Urgent if impending skin compromise
• Can be blocked by tendons, ligaments, bone
11/21/2016 15
Indications for Surgery
Ligamentous Instability Multiple fractures Displaced fractures

Operative Treatment
OptionsORIF
Primary Arthrodesis
Percutaneous pinning/screws
11/21/2016 17
Operative Treatment
• “ I always do ORIF, and then I take out my screws
• “I always fuse the joints”
• “ I always do ORIF, but I leave my screws in”
11/21/2016 18
Rationale for ORIF
• Preserve the joints at all costs
• Do not eliminate a motion segment of the foot
• Hard to make the multiple fractures and a fusion heal
• Traditional treatment

Hardware
• What to use?
• Screws
• 3.5mm or 4.0mm cortical
• Cannulated screws
• Spanning Plates• “joint sparing”
• comminution
• Tightrope

Hardware• Plates

Operative Technique
• Reduction/Temporary Fixation
11/21/2016 27
Operative Technique
• Where to start?• Medial to lateral
• Lateral to medial
• Least to most comminuted
• My Preference• Reduce any intercuneiform
instability• Key in the second ray• 1st, 3rd then 4th and 5th

Results of ORIF
Requires anatomic reduction Poor outcomes Rapid progression of arthrosis Need for further procedures
11/21/2016 32
Alternatives to ORIF?
11/21/2016 33
Primary Arthrodesis High incidence of PTOA post Lisfranc injury Recommended primary fusion
Granberry Surg Gyn Obs 1962
Significant improvement after midfoot arthrodesis for PTOA
Improved results with early fusion for PTOA midfoot Sangeorzan et al FAI 1990 Komenda et al JBJS am 1996

11/21/2016 34
Rationale for Fusion
• Medial column of the midfoot functions rigidly during gait for stablility• “non-essential joints”
• Lateral column (4th, 5th TMT) is the mobile midfoot segment
• One operation, one recovery period
• Fusion after ORIF is technically more difficult
11/21/2016 35
Primary Arthrodesis(PA) vs ORIF
Ly & Coetzee JBJS 2006
Randomized prospective study, improved results in PA vs ORIF for ligamentous injuries
Henning et al FAI 2009
Less secondary procedures and trends towards better outcomes in PA vs ORIF
Mulier et al FAI 2002
Advocated for partial primary arthrodesis for medial column
Reduce and Pin unstable joints
11/21/2016
13
Remove pins and debride one joint at a time
Screw Fixation
11/21/2016 39
Pin 4th and 5th if unstable, don’t fuse
11/21/2016
14
DO NOT fuse in situ!
Comminution
Fuse with Plates

Post-Op
• Remove K wires at 4 weeks
• NWB Short leg cast(fusion) boot (ORIF) X 8 weeks
• Boot, gradual WB over next 2-4 weeks
• PT or HEP

What Do I Do?
Fusion High energy injuries
Patients selection (IVDA, WC, obese, elderly)
Highly comminuted joints
ORIF Low energy Athletes, young&healthy
11/21/2016 45
Do I fuse everyone?

Summary
• Complex Injuries with poor outcomes
• Each injury, patient unique
• Do not miss subtle injuries
• Goal of fixation Stable painless plantigradefoot
• Fuse vs. ORIF – still controversial
