Abstract
Primary Lisfranc fracture/dislocation is a midfoot injury that results in disruption of the main plantar-stabilizing ligaments of the arch of the midfoot and may result in posttraumatic arthritis and deformity. It may be treated with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and/or primary arthrodesis. Primary arthrodesis and ORIF have been shown to have similar clinical outcomes; however a lower reoperation rate may exist with the former. Obtaining an anatomic reduction, regardless of the method of fixation, is crucial to good clinical outcomes.
