Özet

We evaluated the results of 11 patients with Lisfranc injuries that had been treated with open reduction and internal fixation in our clinic between January 1988 and December 1997. There were three women and eight men with a mean age of 31.2 years. Injuries resulted from motor vehicular accidents in eight patients, from falls in two patients and a direct crushing injury in the last one. Only one of the injuries was open. All were treated with open reduction and internal fixation with screws and/or pins. Our average follow- up is 3.4 years. Eight of the patients were graded functionally as good, two fair and one poor. Fracture-dislocations of the tarsometatarsal joint (Lisfranc joint), are rare injuries which can often be missed. Since they are associated with a high functional disability, early diagnosis, anatomical reduction and stable fixation is essential for a good outcome.
