Lisfranc Injuries in the Athlete

Abstract

LisFranc injuries in the active, athletic, and military populations can be devastating injuries. There has been much debate over open reduction and internal fixation versus arthrodesis as primary treatment in these injuries. This article aims to present the existing evidence-based medicine to help guide appropriate treatment in this population. With the introduction of flexible fixation, the variety of ways to address these injuries surgically has expanded.
