Abstract

Lisfranc fracture dislocations are complex and difficult to treat. Making the correct diagnosis and achieving an anatomical reduction are important factors in regard to achieving a favorable outcome with this injury.

To date, we have achieved predictable results for stabilizing and treating these difficult injuries with the use of a suture endobutton, instead of traditional interfragmental screw fixation.
