Surgical Trends in the Treatment of Lisfranc Injuries Using the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) Certification Examination Database.

Lisfranc joint complex injury may be managed surgically by either an open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) or primary arthrodesis (PA). Published literature advocates PA for purely ligamentous injuries, but many surgeons in actuality refrain from performing PA. The purpose of the study is to assess surgeon practices and behavior in managing Lisfranc injuries due to the influence of peer reviewed literature with the help of the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) database.
