A retrospective review was performed on 14 patients (20 arthrodeses) who had undergone midfoot arthrodesis with a semi-constrained, locking anterior cervical plate as a form of adjunctive fixation. Fusion sites where the plate was used for the purpose of arthrodesis included the talonavicular joint, medial naviculocuneiform joints, first metatarsal cuneiform joint, and the calcaneal cuboid joint. All arthrodesis sites used one other type of fixation for the purpose of axial compression. Twenty midfoot arthrodesis sites went on to radiographic union at a mean of 9.1+/-1.5 weeks. A single complication of hardware irritation occurred in one patient that resolved after plate removal. This semi-constrained, locking anterior cervical plate appears to be a viable adjunct to fixation constructs for the purpose of midfoot arthrodesis.

Joint arthrodesis is a very common surgical approach in foot and ankle surgery at various anatomic levels. Several techniques have demonstrated the ability to provide successful fusion with appropriate preparation of the joint in question. With that in mind, the joint preparation, regardless of approach or instrumentation, is consistently the most time-consuming.

Introduction: The presence of a Lisfranc injury alone is considered a surgical indication in most patients. Indications for primary arthrodesis (PA) versus open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), however, is a topic of debate among surgeons. Conflicting data exists as to which treatment modality leads to improved patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), reoperations, and complications.

Lisfranc injuries were previously described as fracture-dislocations of the tarsometatarsal joints. With advancements in modern imaging, subtle Lisfranc injuries are now more frequently recognized, revealing that their true incidence is much higher than previously thought. Injury patterns can vary widely in severity and anatomy.

It is related to delayed ossification due to physical or nutritional stress, associated with abnormal force distribution. There are still few studies on this condition and there is no consensus in the literature on its classification and treatment.
