Clinical Outcomes of Fiber-Tape Flexible Fixation for Chronic Lisfranc Injuries.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The optimal surgical procedures for chronic Lisfranc injuries are controversial. This study aimed to demonstrate the clinical outcomes of fiber tape fixation for chronic Lisfranc injuries under early full weightbearing protocols.

Methods

This study included 11 feet from 10 patients who underwent fiber tape fixation for chronic Lisfranc injuries (undiagnosed for more than 6 weeks from injuries). All patients were allowed full weightbearing with normal shoes 4 weeks after the surgery. Clinical outcomes were evaluated with the Self-Administered Foot Evaluation Questionnaire. Radiographic outcomes were evaluated with a first cuneiform (C1)-second metatarsal (M2) distance from weightbearing anteroposterior plain foot radiography.
