BACKGROUND: Lisfranc injuries represent a spectrum of trauma from high-energy lesions, with significant instability of the midfoot, to low-energy lesions, with subtle subluxations or instability without gross displacement. Recently, treatment options that allow for physiologic fixation of this multiplanar joint are being evaluated. The purpose of this study was to analyze the stability of a cadaveric Lisfranc injury model fixed with a novel suture-augmented neoligamentplasty in comparison with a traditional transarticular screw fixation construct. METHODS: Twenty-four fresh-frozen, matched cadaveric leg and foot specimens (12 individuals younger than 65 years of age) were used for this study. Two different types of Lisfranc ligament injuries were tested: partial and complete. Two different methods of fixation were compared: transarticular screws and augmented suture ligamentplasty with FiberTape. Specimens were fixed to a rotation platform in order to stress the joints while applying 400 N of axial load and internal and external rotation. Six distances were measured and compared between the intact, injured, and fixed states with a 3D Digitizer arm, in order to evaluate the stability between them. Analysis of variance was used with P < .05 considered significant. RESULTS: Using distribution graphs and analyzing the grouped data, it was observed that there was no difference between the 2 stabilization methods, but the augmented suture ligamentplasty presented lower variability and observed distance shortenings were more likely to be around the mean. The variability of the stabilization with screws was 2.9 times higher than that with tape (P < .001). CONCLUSION: We suggest that augmented suture ligamentplasty can achieve similar stability to classic transarticular screws, with less variability. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This cadaveric study adds new information on the debate about Lisfranc lesions treatment. Flexible fixations, such as the synthethic ligamentplasty used, can restore good stability such as conventional transarticular screws.

BACKGROUND: Lisfranc joint injuries can be due to direct or indirect trauma and while the precise mechanisms are unknown, twisting or axial force through the foot is a suspected contributor. Cadaveric models are a useful way to evaluate injury patterns and models of fixation, but a frequent limitation is the amount of joint displacement after injury. The purpose of this study was to test a cadaveric model that includes axial load, foot plantarflexion and pronation-supination motion, which could re-create bone diastasis similar to what is seen in subtle Lisfranc injuries. Our hypothesis was that applying pronation and supination motion to a cadaveric model would produce reliable and measurable bone displacements. METHODS: Twenty-four fresh-frozen lower leg cadaveric specimens were used. The medial (C1) and intermediate (C2) cuneiforms and the first (M1) and second (M2) metatarsal bones were marked. A complete ligament injury was performed between C1-C2 and C1-M2 in 12 specimens (group 1), and between C1-C2, C1-M2, C1-M1, and C2-M2 in 12 matched specimens (group 2). Foot pronation and supination in addition to an axial load of 400 N was applied to the specimens. A 3D digitizer was used to measure bone distances. RESULTS: After ligament injury, distances changed as follows: C1-C2 increased 3 mm (23%) with supination; C1-M2 increased 4 mm (21%) with pronation (no differences between groups). As expected, distances between C1-M1 and C2-M2 only changed in group 2, increasing 3 mm (14%) and 2 mm (16%), respectively (no differences between pronation and supination). M1-M2 and C2-M1 distances did not reach significant difference for any condition. CONCLUSIONS: Pronation or supination in addition to axial load produced measurable bone displacements in a cadaveric model of Lisfranc injury using sectioned ligaments. Distances M1-M2 and C2-M1 were not reliable to detect injury in this model. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This new cadaveric Lisfranc model included foot pronation-supination in addition to axial load delivering measurable bone diastasis. It was a reliable Lisfranc cadaveric model that could be used to test different Lisfranc reconstructions.
RESUMO
"Misdiagnosed Lisfranc injuries can be as high as 50%, leading to chronic pain, functional impairment, and posttraumatic arthritis. Subtle or incomplete lesions are the most problematic group for an adequate diagnosis. Conventional non-weight-bearing radiographs can overlook up to 30% of unstable cases. Abduction stress radiographs and anteroposterior monopodial comparative weight-bearing radiographic views are very useful to identify instability. Computed tomography gives detailed information about fracture patterns and comminution. MRI can predict instability but it is expensive and not readily available in the acute setting."

The management of Lisfranc injuries is challenging considering the broad spectrum of energy involved and highly variable clinical presentation. Despite the advances in surgical techniques, subtle Lisfranc injuries can lead to chronic pain and permanent disability. Surgical treatment is mandatory for all the unstable injuries; however, the best surgical technique remains controversial. The most predictive factor for a successful outcome is the maintenance of anatomic alignment; therefore, the selection of the appropriate surgical technique is of paramount importance. This article reviews the current treatment options and describes the selection of the surgical technique based on the different clinical presentations.

Introdução: as lesões no complexo articular de Lisfranc ocorrem devido a trauma direto ou indireto, no qual forças de torção ou axiais são transmitidas ao pé. Os modelos cadavéricos são úteis para avaliar padrões de lesões e modelos de fixação, mas frequentemente a quantidade de deslocamento articular após a lesão torna-se um limitador. O objetivo deste estudo foi testar um modelo cadavérico que inclui carga axial, flexão plantar do pé e movimentos de pronação-supinação, recriando diástase óssea semelhante ao observado em lesões sutis de Lisfranc na prática clínica. Nossa hipótese é de que a aplicação do movimento de pronação e supinação em um modelo cadavérico produziria deslocamentos ósseos confiáveis e mensuráveis. Métodos: foram utilizadas 24 amostras cadavéricas frescas congeladas amputadas abaixo do nível do joelho. Os ossos cuneiformes medial e intermédio, o primeiro e o segundo metatarsos, foram marcados. Uma lesão ligamentar completa foi realizada entre os cuneiformes medial e intermédio e entre o cuneiforme medial e o segundo metatarso em 12 amostras (grupo 1) e adicionou-se a lesão dos ligamentos entre o primeiro metatarso e o cuneiforme medial e entre o segundo metatarso e o cuneiforme intermédio em 12 amostras correspondentes (grupo 2). Pronação e supinação do pé, além de uma carga axial de 400 N, foram aplicadas às amostras, utilizando-se o Instrom Testing Machine. Um digitalizador tridimensional (3D) foi utilizado para medir as distâncias entre os ossos. Resultados: para o grupo de lesão parcial (grupo 1), as distâncias referentes aos ossos nos quais os ligamentos foram seccionados apresentaram aumento na condição lesionada tanto em pronação quanto em supinação, como esperado. Em relação à distância entre o cuneiforme intermédio e o primeiro metatarso e entre o primeiro e o segundo metatarsos, observou-se diminuição na condição lesionada em pronação e aumento em supinação. Para o grupo de lesão completa (grupo 2), as distâncias referentes aos locais de secção dos ligamentos apresentaram aumento na condição lesionada tanto em pronação quanto em supinação, como esperado. No tocante à distância entre o cuneiforme intermédio e o primeiro metatarso e entre o primeiro e o segundo metatarsos, verificou-se o mesmo padrão de comportamento das lesões parciais. Conclusão: o modelo biomecânico cadavérico para lesões do complexo articular de Lisfranc desenvolvido neste estudo simula o mecanismo de estresse clínico da lesão e o tipo de lesão mais comum, exibe variações de distâncias fidedignas e mensuráveis e foi desenvolvido para permitir o teste do tratamento da lesão sem interferência nos dispositivos de aferição, podendo se constituir em excelente método para a comparação de técnicas de fixação das lesões ligamentares tarsometatarsais.
Introduction: Lesions in the Lisfranc joint complex occur due to direct or indirect trauma, where a torsional or axial force is transmitted to the foot. Cadaveric models are a useful way to assess injury patterns and fixation models, but a frequent limitation is the amount of joint dislocation after injury. The aim of this study was to test a cadaveric model that includes axial load, plantar flexion of the foot and pronation-supination movement, recreating bone diastasis similar to that observed in subtle Lisfranc lesions in clinical practice. Our hypothesis is that the application of pronation and supination motion in a cadaveric model would produce reliable and measurable bone displacements. Methods: Twenty-four fresh frozen cadaveric leg samples were used. The medial (C1) and intermediate (C2) cuneiform bones, the first (M1) and second (M2) metatarsal bones were marked. A complete ligament injury was performed between C1-C2 and C1-M2 in 12 samples (Group 1) and between C1-C2, C1-M2, C1-M1 and C2-M2 in 12 corresponding samples (Group 2). Foot pronation and supination, in addition to an axial load of 400 N, were applied to the samples. A 3D scanner was used to measure the distances between the bones. Results: For the partial lesion group (Group 1), in which the ligaments between C1-C2 and C1-M2 were injured, these distances increased in the injured condition in both pronation and supination, as expected. Regarding the distance C2-M1 and M1-M2, there was a decrease in the injured condition in pronation and an increase in supination. For the complete lesion group (Group 2), in which the ligaments between C1-C2, C1-M2, C1-M1, and C2-M2 were injured, these distances increased in injured condition both in pronation and supination, as expected. Regarding the behavior of distances C2-M1 and M1-M2, the same behavior pattern was observed as in partial injuries. Conclusion: The cadaveric biomechanical model for Lisfranc joint complex injuries developed in this study simulates the mechanism of clinical stress of the lesion and the most common type of lesion, exhibits reliable and measurable distances, and allows lesion treatment without compromise, being, possibly, an excellent method for comparing tarsometatarsal ligament injury fixation methods.

The primary objective of this investigation was to determine the level of agreement and reliability of the stress examination of the Lisfranc tarsometatarsal joint complex. Secondary objectives were to determine surgeon preferences with respect to this testing and to use gaze recognition software to perform an eye-tracking assessment during the performance of the test. Twelve foot and ankle surgeons, 12 residents, and 12 students were shown 2 intraoperative fluoroscopic still images and 1 video of the stress examination of the tarsometatarsal joint complex using stress abduction of the forefoot on the rearfoot. Participants were asked to evaluate the result as being "positive" or "negative" for tarsometatarsal joint stability. The overall reliability of the interpretation of the stress examination was a kappa of 0.281 (surgeons 0.182; residents 0.423; students 0.256) indicating "fair" agreement. Survey results indicated wide variability in the perioperative preferences and protocols of surgeons dealing with the evaluation and treatment of the tarsometatarsal joint. Eye-tracking results also demonstrated variability in the anatomic structures of interest focused on during performance of this testing. The results of this investigation provide evidence of reliability well below what would be expected of a gold standard test during stress examination of the Lisfranc tarsometatarsal joint complex. These results indicate that future scientific endeavors are required to standardize the performance and interpretation of this testing.

Introducción: Las lesiones de la articulación de Lisfranc se producen por traumas de alta energía; pero cuando se presentan en pacientes con enfermedad de Hansen y daño del sistema nervioso periférico, los traumas repetitivos de pequeña intensidad pueden conducir a este tipo de lesión. Objetivo: Presentar un caso interesante dada la asociación en un paciente con Hansen de una lesión de Lisfranc causado por un trauma de baja energía. Presentación de caso: Paciente de 64 años de edad fototipo V, con antecedentes de Hansen Lepromatoso, que por traumas repetitivos de baja intensidad y un proceso séptico sobreañadido, presentó fractura-luxación de Lisfranc del tipo divergente, se comentan los antecedentes, el cuadro clínico, los exámenes laboratorio, ultrasonidos, estudio radiológico y el tratamiento impuesto. Conclusiones: La discapacidad en manos y pies por trastornos neurológicos en pacientes con lepra lepromatosa de más de 5 años de evolución es bastante frecuente, pero asociado a luxofractura de Lisfranc de tipo divergente, por trauma de baja intensidad, no lo es, ya que este tipo de lesión normalmente se produce por traumas de alta energía(AU)
Introduction: Lisfranc joint lesions are produced by high energy traumas, but when they present in patients with Hansen´s disease and damage to the peripheral nervous system, the low intensity repeated traumas can lead to this type of lesion. Objective: To present an interesting case, given a particular association on a patient with Hansen´s disease and a Lisfranc lesion, caused by a low energy trauma. Case presentation: 64 years old Phototype V patient with antecedents of lepromatous Hansen´s disease who presented Lisfranc fracture-dislocation of a divergent type after low intensity repeated traumas, and a septic superadded process. The antecedents, clinical picture, laboratory tests, ultrasounds, radiological study, and the treatment indicated are all analyzed. Conclusions: Disability in hands and feet due to neurological disorders in patients with lepromatous leprosy of more than 5 years of evolution is very frequent, but it is not so frequent when associated to a Lisfranc fracture-dislocation of a divergent type due to low intensity trauma, because this type of lesion is normally caused by high energy traumas(AU)

Resumen: Objetivo: Valorar las complicaciones y secuelas del tratamiento de la fractura-luxación de Lisfranc (FLL). Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio de cohortes ambispectivo trasversal de 83 pacientes con diagnóstico de fractura-luxación de Lisfranc. Se utilizó un protocolo de recopilación de datos con variables relacionadas con la lesión, parámetros clínicos, terapéuticos, complicaciones y escalas de valoración clínica. Resultados: 66 pacientes (79.5%) presentaron complicaciones tanto precoces como tardías. Las complicaciones precoces sumaron nueve casos de edema postoperatorio, tres de infección superficial, dos de necrosis cutánea que precisó injerto libre de piel (ILPH), uno de lesión vascular, uno de tromboembolismo pulmonar (TEP), uno de pérdida de reducción en el postoperatorio precoz, uno de mala reducción que precisó de nueva intervención. Entre las complicaciones tardías, 41 pacientes (49.40%) presentaron signos radiológicos de artrosis en la articulación tarsometatarsiana, cinco con enfermedad de Sudeck que precisó tratamiento, ocho con descalcificación por desuso, 12 con edema residual, uno con pérdida de reducción en fase tardía, uno con cicatriz hipertrófica y brida retráctil, uno con osteomielitis crónica, uno con seudoartrosis, tres con intolerancia/infección tardía al material de osteosíntesis; también hubo reintervención de siete pacientes en fase de secuelas donde se les realizó artrodesis. No se observó ninguna rotura de material de osteosíntesis. Casi la mitad de los pacientes (49.4%) recibieron algún tipo de indemnización económica tras el accidente. Conclusiones: El tratamiento de las FLL debe realizarse lo antes posible, ya que la estabilización en un breve plazo de tiempo puede ayudar a mejorar los resultados. La reducción anatómica no predice los buenos resultados. Un número importante de pacientes refirió dolor residual.
Abstract: Objective: To value the complications and sequels for patients with Lisfranc's fracture-luxation (FLL). Material and methods: A transverse ambispective study of cohorts was realized of 83 patients by diagnosis of Lisfranc's fracture-luxation. There was in use a protocol of withdrawal of information with variables related to the injury, clinical, therapeutic parameters, complications and scales of clinical valuation. Results: 66 patients (79.5%) presented complications grouping early and late. Analyzing the early complications, we observe 9 cases of postoperatory edema with inflammation and swelling, 3 cases of superficial infection, 2 cases of necrosis cutaneous that precise graft should free of skin (ILPH), 1 case of vascular complication, 1 case of pulmonary embolis (TEP), 1 case of loss of reduction in the precocious postoperatory, 1 case of bad reduction that was necessary new intervention. The late complications presented the following distribution: 41 patients (49.40%) presented radiological signs of degenerative osteoarthritis in the tarsometatarsal joint, 5 cases of Sudeck's disease that needed treatment, 8 cases of decalcification for disuse, 12 cases of edema and residual inflammation, 1 case of loss of reduction in late phase, 1 case of hypertrophic scar with retractable bridle, 1 case of chronic osteomyelitis, 1 case of seudodegenerative osteoarthritis, 3 cases of late intolerance/infection to the osteosynthesis material, reintervention of 7 patients in phase of sequels where they were realized artrodesis. No break of material was observed of osteosynthesis. Almost the half of the patients (49.4%) they received some type of economic indemnification after the accident. Conclusions: The treatment of the FLL must be realized as soon as possible, providing that the general condition of the patient and of the soft parts allows it, since the stabilization in the brief space of time can help to improve the results. The anatomical reduction cannot grant a good result. An important number of patients had residual pain.

BACKGROUND: Anatomic restoration and postoperative rehabilitation of displaced fracture-dislocations of the tarsometatarsal junction of the foot are essential. Our objective was to report percutaneous reduction and screw fixation results in low-energy Lisfranc fracture dislocation injuries that were treated with early weight-bearing and rehabilitation. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated patients with low-energy Lisfranc injuries who underwent surgery between May 2007 and April 2011. The study reviewed 22 patients (12 men and 10 women) with an average age of 36.2 years (range, 16-50 years) and an average follow-up of 33.2 months (range, 12-50 months). We report the mechanism of trauma; quality of reduction in the postoperative digital radiographs; subjective satisfaction; AOFAS score; time required to return to work, recreational activities, and low-impact sports; and complications. Postoperatively, all of the patients were instructed to be non-weight-bearing for 3 weeks, and the stitches were removed after 2 weeks. At the third postoperative week, the patients were encouraged to bear weight as tolerated. RESULTS: Quality of reduction was anatomic or near anatomic in 100% of cases. The subjective satisfaction reported by patients was very good, with complete satisfaction in 20 of them (90.9%). The AOFAS average was 94 points (range, 90-100 points). Average return to work was at 7 weeks (range, 6-9 weeks), recreational activities 7.2 weeks (range, 6-9 weeks), training for low-impact sports 7.6 weeks (range, 7-8 weeks), and symptom-free sport activities 12.4 weeks (range, 11-13 weeks). CONCLUSION: In this selected group of patients with low-energy Lisfranc fracture dislocation, anatomic or near-anatomic reduction can be achieved with percutaneous reduction and screw fixation. Early weight-bearing is possible in these patients, and early return to regular activities and low-impact sport can be expected. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, retrospective case series.

Report the quality of reduction and results of percultaneously operated Lisfranc fracture patients: Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 10 patients with low energy Lisfranc fractures operated between July 2007 and March 2009. There were 6 men and 4 women with an average age of 32,3 years and an average follow up 11,6 months. We evaluated reduction quality in digital x rays, functional results and subjective satisfaction. Results: Quality of reduction was anatomic in 100 percent of cases. Time to return to work was at an average of 7,2 weeks, sports 7,6 weeks, daily life activities at 7,2 weeks. Overall subjective satisfaction was 100 percent. No patient reported persistent edema or pain. 5 patients had mild pain after strenuous physical activities. Conclusion: In these selected low energy Lisfranc fracture patients the result after a reproducible technique are excellent with minimal persistent symptoms. We strongly believe that adequate reduction can be obtained through a percutaneous approach in almost every Lisfranc fracture case.
Objetivo: Mostrar la calidad de la reducción y resultados funcionales a corto y mediano plazo de pacientes operados de luxofractura de Lisfranc vía percutánea. Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo de una serie consecutiva de 10 pacientes operados de luxofractura de Lisfranc vía percutánea entre Julio de 2007 y Marzo de 2009. Seis hombres y 4 mujeres, promedio de edad de 32,3 años. El tiempo de seguimiento promedio fue de 11,6 meses. Se revisaron protocolos quirúrgicos, fichas clínicas y se contactaron vía telefónica. Se evalúo los resultados funcionales, grado de satisfacción con la cirugía y calidad de la reducción mediante radiografías digitales. Resultados: La reducción fue anatómica en los 10 pacientes. El tiempo promedio de retorno laboral fue de 7,2 semanas. Ningún paciente refirió edema o dolor con las actividades de la vida diaria y 5 pacientes dolor leve tras realizar actividad física. Ningún paciente refirió uso actual de ortesis. El grado de satisfacción con la cirugía fue favorable en los 10 pacientes. Conclusión: En este grupo seleccionado de pacientes, con el diagnostico de luxofractura de Lisfranc tras un tratamiento de baja energía, es factible de una reducción anatómica mediante técnica percutánea. Creemos que la técnica percutánea no sacrifica la calidad de la reducción.
