Abstract
As Lisfranc joint injuries are rare and standard radiographic examinations can be difficult to interpret the correct diagnosis is often initially overlooked. Delayed treatment frequently results in painful and disabling arthritis, consequently, primary targeted diagnostics are essential for the functional outcome. We report on a patient with a Lisfranc fracture dislocation, with the injury severity only becoming obvious by dynamic examination with the patient under anesthesia. Due to the massive swelling we performed a minimally invasive primary stabilization using one K-wire and a mini-TightRope®.Entities:
