The authors present a critical study of patients (16 feet) with Lisfranc fracture dislocation treated by the open treatment method through a longitudinal incision and fixation with Kirschner wires. The Lisfranc articulation displacements are injuries that present a high potential of chronic incapacity when not diagnosed correctly. This summary discusses the clinical, anatomical and radiographic aspects for diagnostic evaluation, and surgical technique details, evolution and complications. 80% of good results were achieved with the open treatment. The cases of poor results are generally associated to fracture comminution, soft tissues injuries, or inadequate anatomic reduction. The authors conclude that the best treatment for Lisfranc joint is the open reduction with Kirschner wire or screw fixation.
