Lisfranc fracture-dislocations: current treatment and new surgical approaches.email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
Authors: Zgonis T, Roukis TS, Polyzois VD Anatomic reduction and restoration of the acute or chronic fracture-dislocation of the tarso-metatarsal joint is essential and needs to be addressed early in the patient's treatment with internal or external fixation. Long-term results following this injury can be associated with chronic instability, posttraumatic arthrosis, and poor functional outcomes. In this article, the authors review the current treatments of internal fixation and introduce new surgical techniques for addressing the acute or chronic tarso-metatarsal injuries with the application of circular multiplane ext...

Authors: Grivas TB, Vasiliadis ED, Koufopoulos G, Polyzois VD, Polyzois DG Fractures of the midfoot are uncommon because of the constrained configuration of multiple articular surfaces, which is augmented by capsular attachments and strong ligaments and tendons. Injury patterns usually involve more than one structure, although isolated fractures, dislocations, and sprains can occur. The key to optimal treatment of midfoot fractures is a high index of clinical suspicion because of their rareness. The traumatic midfoot injuries described in this article are categorized as Chopart joint injuries, tarsal scaphoid fractures...

Authors: Zgonis T, Roukis TS, Polyzois VD Treatment of severely comminuted calcaneal fractures with soft tissue compromise is still a controversial issue among surgeons. Complications of open reduction internal fixation have been well reported in the literature with a fairly high incidence of posttraumatic osteoarthritis of the subtalar joint, symptomatic hindfoot stiffness (especially when fixed in varus), wound dehiscence, and potential for the development of osteomyelitis caused by the extensive soft tissue trauma inherent with these injuries. For these reasons, closed treatment techniques using minimally invasive r...

Authors: Mandi DM, Nickles WA, Mandracchia VJ, Halligan JB, Toney PA Although ankle injuries are common, it is imperative for the treating physician to be able to identify the mechanism of injury and accurately restore the normal anatomy of the ankle joint. Attention must be given to restoring the normal alignment and length of the fibula because of its dominant role in controlling talar stability. The medial ankle must not be overlooked, with the role of the deltoid taken into consideration. With a thorough understanding of the anatomy, biomechanics, mechanism of injury, and fixation techniques, repair of the damaged ...

Authors: Polyzois VD, Papakostas I, Zgonis T, Polyzois DG, Soucacos PN Posttraumatic arthrosis is a commonly encountered clinical problem, but the pathoetiology of its development is not yet clarified. Many contributing mechanical biologic factors interplay with the traumatic event that necessarily precedes the posttraumatic syndrome. New biologic concepts involving the ability of the cartilage to repair and how such healing can be promoted are being realized in new modalities of treatment. The traumatic event as such and the resulting pathomechanical consequences require new ways of evaluation. PMID: 16903162 [Pub...

A detailed, step-by-step, guide through the foot-specific Taylor spatial external fixation system is provided. Finally, the authors' preferred technique for these difficult limb salvage cases is presented in detail....

Conclusions: Currently, no solid evidence-based interventions to prevent lower extremity stress reactions or fractures exist. Limited evidence suggests that "shock absorbing" insoles may reduce the overall incidence of lower extremity osseous injuries in military personnel. Unfortunately, research does not support the best design for inserts or footwear modifications. (ABSTRACT TRUNCATED) PMID: 17273474 [PubMed - in process]

This study was undertaken to examine the effects of rearfoot post design on the lateral-to-medial position and velocity of the center-of-pressure path. Four identical pairs of neutral-cast polypropylene orthotic shells were constructed; three pairs had a rearfoot post of specified design added. The fourth pair, the control, did not have a post added. Stance period data were broken down into four functional phases, and the statistically significant differences between the experimental conditions were calculated and analyzed. The addition of a rearfoot post to an orthotic shell affects center-of-pressure lateral-to-medial po...

This article reviews the signs and symptoms of entrapment of this nerve. It also presents a retrospective assessment of subjective improvement in symptoms and the activity level after decompression of the common peroneal nerve. A consecutive series of 17 patients who underwent neurolysis of the common peroneal nerve, 4 bilaterally, is reported. Eighteen (86%) of the 21 surgical procedures had a good-to-excellent outcome, whereas three outcomes (14%) were not improved. Decompression of the common peroneal nerve offers a chance for improvement of sensory and motor symptoms in carefully selected patients. PMID: 16988171 [...

On each specimen, a single investigator performed standard incisions and dissection as typically performed for surgical arthrodesis of the first metatarsocuneiform, naviculocuneiform, medial intercuneiform, talonavicular, calcaneocuboid, and subtalar joints. Each joint was exposed and distracted once using the Tarsal Joint Distractor (Orthovation LLC, Sealy, Texas) a...

The effects of hallux limitus on plantar foot pressure and foot kinematics have received limited attention in the literature. Therefore, a study was conducted to assess the effects of limited first metatarsophalangeal joint mobility on plantar foot pressure. It was equally important to identify detection criteria based on plantar pressures and metatarsophalangeal joint kinematics, enabling differentiation between subjects affected by hallux limitus and people with normal hallux function. To further our understanding of the relation between midtarsal collapse and hallux limitus, kinematic variables relating to midtarsal...

Epidermal inclusion cysts are soft-tissue lesions that result from traumatic implantation of epidermal cells into the dermis. A case report is presented involving a large recurrent plantar inclusion cyst secondary to trauma sustained in the Vietnam War. The patient reported that the initiating trauma was the result of stepping on a punji stake in Vietnam. Punji stakes, sharpened spikes typically made of bamboo and dipped in poison or excrement, were used by the Vietnamese soldiers to wound enemy soldiers. Careful excision of the lesion is imperative to prevent recurrence. PMID: 16988177 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Summary  Midfoot sprains present with a wide spectrum of injuries of the Lisfranc ligament complex. The injury can be classified into sprains, partial ruptures and complete ruptures of the Lisfranc ligament complex. Weight bearing dorsoplantar X-rays are mandatory to demonstrate the diastases between the base of the first and second metatarsal. In complete ruptures, the longitudinal arch flattens in weightbearing lateral X-rays. MRI can show in detail the ligament rupture, additional microfractures and minor displacement of the Lisfranc joint line. Nonoperative management is suggested for stage I injuries, whereas ea...

Summary  Chronic ankle instability has become a frequent disease in sports. The risk to sustain an ankle sprain depends on intrinsic (e.g., hindfoot alignment, ligament laxity, force, neuromuscular reaction) and extrinsic factors (e.g., shoes, type of sport, warm up). Chronic ankle instability can be divided into lateral, medial and combined rotational instability. The correct treatment of chronic ankle instability should also include the associated injuries to make a return to sports as soon as possible. Conservative treatment should be the first treatment step. A mechanical deficit can usually be compensated by tra...

Summary  Giant cell tumor of soft tissue is a benign, solitary lesion which usually arises in the limbs. It is less common in the foot. The following case demonstrates a painless manifestation of a soft tissue GCT in a young woman. The operative findings and histological examination revealed a solid nodule tumor with villonodular synovialitis and osteoclastic giant cells. There was no malignant confirmation. No local recurrence was seen 6 months after resection. GCT are low grade malignancies. Especially in case of rare localizations and atypic findings, diagnostic differentiation is still difficult.
