Missed lisfranc:
now what?
Dr Rajiv Shah
‘Foot & Ankle orthopaedics’
Foot & Ankle Surgeon
President, Indian Foot & Ankle Society
Missed Lisfranc
• Lisfranc injury is missed more often that
not!
• Reconstruction beyond three weeks
usually not done
• Missed lisfranc lands up in to post
traumatic midfoot arthrosis
• Should be treated with midfoot fusion
Midfoot arthritis:
Chronic foot pain
Functional disability
Guidelines lacking
To rigid on push off
Midfoot Arthritis: Diagnosis
• Pain
• Tenderness
• Deformity
– Loss of Arch
– Midfoot Abduction
• Gait Abnormality
– Non Rigid Arch During
Push-Off
Physical Exam
• N/V status
• Skin condition
• Palpate joints
• Assess alignment
– Pes planus
– Abduction
Physical Exam
• Painful motion?
Radiology
• X-Rays
– AP,Lateral, & 30o
Oblique
• Parallel to TMT Joint Surfaces
– 15-20o
Cephalad
– Weight-Bearing
• CT Scan
Radiology Findings
• X-rays:
• Joint space narrowing
• Osteophytes
• Subchondral sclerosis & cysts
• CT scan:
• Axial and 30° Semi-- Coronal Cuts‐
• Articular Incongruity
• Bone Exostoses
• MRI:
• Osteochondral Lesions
• Osteomyelitis
• Extent of Talar Avascular Necrosis
Diagnostic or Therapeutic
Injections
•25-33% accuracy with palpation alone
•Must use Fluoro or US
•Extravasation of dye in approx. 20%
Aims of treatment:
Pain relief by enhancing stability
Fusion in functional position
Plantigrade foot
Non-Op Treatment
• NSAID
• Activity Modification
• Local steroids
• Stiff soled shoes
• Rocker soled shoes
• Full length steel shank
• Orthotics: UCBL, hinged AFO
• Carbon footplates
Non-op treatment
• Carbon footplate
Carbon
Footplate
70% pain
reduction
Steel shank shoe
Conservative mx:
Carbon foot plate
3Q insert
Operative Principles
• Fuse only what is
painful
– Most likely the medial
column
• 1st
TMT, Navicular-
medial cuneiform
• 2nd
TMT and N-MC
joints
• +/- 3rd
joints
– Don’t fuse 4, 5 TMT
• Peroneus tertius
• Resect if necessary but
this is rare
• Don’t forget Gastroc
Operative Principles
• Lazy “C” incision
– If going laterally then second incision
– FULL thickness flaps
• Denude Cartilage
– Untoothed Laminar Spreader
– Drill with K-wire to promote healing
• Build the fusion from the medial
side to the lateral aspect
• Hintermann retractor
Operative Principles
• K-wire for temporary fixation
– Use crossed screws, dorsal plates
compression staples
dorsal locking plate
• Stability of the fusion can be
improved by plates
Tarso MT Joint
Midfoot Joints
Plating allows for reliable fusion
Can Hold corrected deformity
Midfoot plus
TM Joints
Dorsiflexion of toes while tightening
screws reduces GAP in the joints
Operative Principles
• Mini Fluoroscopy decreases radiation
exposure
• Full thickness closure with nylon sutures
– Leave in for 3 weeks; elevate foot
• Well padded splint/cast for 8 weeks NWB
• Walking cast for 4 more weeks
• Xrays at 8 and 12 weeks
• Additional f/u 18 weeks
Case Example
• Female aged 33 years
• Pain, swelling & inability to ambulate
• 4.5 months post trauma
Original X-ray
At surgery….
Case example:
Case example:
Case example:
1st
-3rd
TMT fusion Isolated 2nd
fusion
Pearls
• Don’t do this until the
patient begs you for
it…
– Outcomes 50-80%
good…not great
• Complications: Non-
union, wound
problems, infection,
nerve injury, continued
pain, prominent
hardware
That’s all…
Thank you all..
