Open Reduction Internal Fixation of the Lisfranc Complex.

Lisfranc injuries are uncommon; however, if left untreated, it can have a detrimental effect causing deformity, chronic pain, and mid-foot arthrosis. Injury can include disruption of the first through fifth tarsometatarsal joints as well as variant patterns that include the involvement of the metatarsals, the naviculocuneiform articulation, and the cuboid. There is controversy regarding the benefits of open reduction internal fixation versus arthrodesis. Regardless, anatomical reduction is paramount to obtaining a good functional outcome. This video details the surgical approach and the reduction and fixation strategy of a high-energy Lisfranc complex fracture dislocation.
