The authors report their experience in the treatment of traumatic injuries of Lisfranc's joint based on 30 cases treated by surgery between 1984 and 1999. All of the patients were re-evaluated clinically and radiographically. What emerges from the study is the need for surgical stabilization with percutaneous Kirschner wires or by open procedure in cases where there are doubts or where reduction is impossible. The prognosis is worse in injuries of the medial column and in exposed fractures or when mortification of the soft tissues is present.
