Percutaneous reduction and 2.7-mm cortical screw fixation for low-energy lisfranc injuries

The Journal of Foot & Ankle Surgery May 01, 2020

Park YH, Ahn JH, Choi GW, et al. - This research was performed to assess the outcomes of percutaneous reduction and 2.7-mm cortical screw fixation for low-energy Lisfranc injuries and determine whether the procedure is a safe alternative to traditional screw fixation applying a larger screw size. Researchers conducted a review for all patients who had undergone percutaneous reduction and 2.7-mm cortical screw fixation for low-energy Lisfranc injuries at a single institution over a 6-year period. This study included a total of 31 patients. They evaluated individuals clinically and radiographically for demographics, foot function index, numerical rating scale for pain, patient satisfaction, and complication rates. The data reveal that percutaneous reduction and 2.7-mm cortical screw fixation after considering the incidence of screw breakage can be a viable option for treating low-energy Lisfranc injuries in nonobese patients, particularly those with BMI <27.8 kg/m2.
