Dorsal plating of low-energy Lisfranc injuries: a case report.

UNLABELLED: Surgically repairing acute Lisfranc injuries remains a difficult task, and the injury remains a challenging one for the treating surgeon. Although there are many proponents of acute arthrodesis for Lisfranc injuries, there remain a proportion of patients with low-energy trauma who may be best treated with open reduction internal fixation and joint salvaging procedures. Here, the authors present a case report and technique to anatomically fix Lisfranc injuries while preventing any concomitant articular damage in the process. They have found this to be a reliable and safe procedure in this demanding patient population.

LEVELS: Level IV-Case Report.
