  • Clinical efficacy of selective tarsometatarsal arthrodesis for old Lisfranc injuries

    Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of selective tarsometatarsal arthrodesis for old Lisfranc injury without significant post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). Methods The clinical data of patients with old Lisfranc injury without significant PTOA who were treated by selective tarsometatarsal arthrodesis at Chengdu Pidu District People’s Hospital between June 2013 and June 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The improvement of patients’ Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, American Orthopedic Foot Ankle Society (AOFAS) midfoot score and Short Form 12 (SF-12) score before surgery and at the final follow-up were compared. Results Seventeen oldLisfranc injury patients (17 feet) without significant PTOA were finally recorded, including 12 males and 5 females. All patients completed the surgery successfully, and the surgical incisions healed smoothly after surgery without complications such as poor incision healing, soft tissue ischemic necrosis, and deep and superficial infections. All patients were followed up for an average of 22.6 months (12 to 36 months). Three months after surgery, follow-up X-ray films showed bony healing of the fused ends in all patients, and the patient satisfaction was 94.1%. Compared with the preoperative scores, VAS score (6.0±0.3 vs. 0.8±0.2), AOFAS score (50.5±1.5 vs. 86.5±0.9), SF-12 physiological score (21.9±0.6 vs. 46.1±0.5) and SF-12 psychological score (31.1±0.8 vs. 47.3±0.7) at the last follow-up improved (P<0.05). Conclusion Selective tarsometatarsal arthrodesis for the old Lisfranc injuries without significant PTOA can restore the midfoot force lines and stability, avoid stiffness after full feet fusion, preserve midfoot function, and improve patient satisfaction.
