The management of Lisfranc injuries is challenging considering the broad spectrum of energy involved and highly variable clinical presentation. Despite the advances in surgical techniques, subtle Lisfranc injuries can lead to chronic pain and permanent disability. Surgical treatment is mandatory for all the unstable injuries; however, the best surgical technique remains controversial. The most predictive factor for a successful outcome is the maintenance of anatomic alignment; therefore, the selection of the appropriate surgical technique is of paramount importance. This article reviews the current treatment options and describes the selection of the surgical technique based on the different clinical presentations.

Pattern of injury in polytrauma compared to single limb related Lisfranc joint fractures.
Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg
January 2025
Liverpool Orthopaedic and Trauma Service, Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Liverpool, United Kingdom.
Background: Midfoot fractures in polytrauma patients are often an underappreciated injury relative to their other major injuries sustained. In this study, our aim was to explore the mechanisms and patterns of injury in polytrauma related midfoot fractures as compared to single limb injuries.
Setting: Multicentre observational study.
Lisfranc Fracture-dislocation With Extensor Hallucis Brevis Tendon Interposition: A Case Report.
JBJS Case Connect
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Nemours Children's Health, Wilmington, Delaware.
Case: A 14-year-old adolescent girl sustained a Lisfranc fracture-dislocation with an interposed extensor hallucis brevis (EHB) tendon. Following multiple failed attempts at closed reduction in both the emergency department and the operating room, the patient was treated in a staged manner with temporizing closed reduction and percutaneous pinning in improved alignment, followed by definitive open reduction and internal fixation once soft tissues allowed.
Conclusions: Anatomic reduction and stable fixation of Lisfranc injuries is vital to regain stability and reduce the risk of midfoot arthritis and collapse.
Long-term results of staged management of complex lisfranc and chopart injury: a retrospective cohort study and systematic literature review.
Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg
January 2025
Department of Trauma Surgery, Amsterdam University Medical Centers, Location AMC, Meibergdreef 9, Amsterdam, 1105 AZ, The Netherlands.
Purpose: The aim was to assess the long-term functional outcome and quality of life after staged surgical treatment of complex Lisfranc and Chopart injuries in a patient cohort, and to perform a systematic review of the literature.
Methods: A retrospective cohort of all trauma patients with complex Lisfranc and/or Chopart injuries treated at our level 1 trauma center between July 1, 2010, and July 1, 2020 with ≥ 3 years follow-up was analyzed in terms of management, complications, and patient-reported outcomes (American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society midfoot score, AOFAS and Foot Function Index, FFI). A systematic review of the literature (according to PRISMA 2020 guidelines) was performed of studies published between January 2000 to April 2024.
Midfoot fractures: Patterns of injury and predictors of stability.
J Clin Orthop Trauma
February 2025
Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, Mindelsohn Way, Birmingham, B15 2TH, United Kingdom.
Background: Lisfranc injuries describe a spectrum of midfoot and tarsometatarsal joint (TMTJ) trauma ranging from purely ligamentous to multiple fracture-dislocations. Lisfranc injuries represent 0.2 % of all fractures and are seen predictably, with mechanisms involving a fall from height, crushing, or torsion.

Acta Chir Orthop Traumatol Cech
January 2025
Department of Trauma and Orthopaedics, Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital, Oswestry, UK.
Purpose Of The Study: Lisfranc is a challenging injury both diagnostically and surgically, with sparse long-term literature evidence of surgical practice. We aim to review our long-term specialist orthopaedic institutional experience of Lisfranc injuries and the surgical management of this complex injury, specifically considering surgical outcomes as per radiological and clinical assessment.
Material And Methods: We present data from a prospectively maintained institutional database, reviewing patients who underwent operative fixation for Lisfranc injury between April 2014 and August 2020.
