Treatment of Lisfranc Injuries Using Interosseous Suture Button: A Retrospective Review of 84 Cases With a Minimum 3-Year Follow-Up.

Lisfranc fracture dislocation is an injury often encountered by the foot and ankle surgeon. This injury, depending on the severity and level of energy, has been shown to lead to posttraumatic osteoarthritis and chronic pain if undiagnosed or improperly managed. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the surgical repair with the use of an interosseous suture button for Lisfranc injuries with isolated ligamentous disruption.

Evaluation of BMI With an All Inside Arthroscopic Broström Procedure for Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability: An Analysis of 113 Patients.

The all inside arthroscopic Broström surgical procedure for chronic lateral ankle instability is a minimally invasive procedure that is an option surgeons have when treating their patients. There have not been any studies analyzing the integrity of the repair to patients who have an elevated body mass index (BMI) to determine if the strength of the repair is adequate. We retrospectively evaluated a total of 113 consecutive patients who underwent this procedure.

Age-Related Outcomes in Total Ankle Arthroplasty: An Analysis of 112 Patients.

Traditionally, total ankle replacement has been reserved for elderly patients with low physical demands. With nearly 80% of end-stage ankle arthritis being secondary to prior trauma, patients may require a replacement at a much younger rate than primary hip and knee arthritis. Historical accounts of implant failure and high revision rates in younger patients have been reported in the literature.
