ABSTRACT

We conducted an ambispective cohort study of 83 patients with a diagnosis of Lisfranc fracture dislocation from 1993 to 2008. The lesions were classified into two groups: pure dislocations and fracture dislocations of the Lisfranc joint using the Hardcastle-Reschamer classification. The results included the following data: sociodemographic and epidemiologic variables, lesion-related variables, clinical parameters, and the following clinical and functional assessment scales: Baltimore Painful Foot Score, Creighton-Nebraska Health Foundation, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS), and Hannover Scoring System. Sixty-three patients were treated surgically. Closed reduction and minimally invasive fixation with Kirschner nails were performed in 53 patients (63.9%), and open reduction with a dorsal approach and fixation with Kirschner nails in 10 cases (15.2%). In 46 cases de medial column was fixed, in 61 cases the intermediate column, and in 42 the lateral column. Sixty-six (79.5%) of the patients had complications including both acute and late ones. Regardless of the technique used, the purpose of treatment was the anatomical reduction of the involved joints. Based on our experience, we think that the use of Kirschner nails is effective, as it provides enough stiffness and stability. In general terms, this injury is not as disabling as it had been considered in the literature. Patients consider their discomfort as tolerable and compatible with the demands of their activities of daily living and they may perform their work considering the time limitations.
