Abstract

Lisfranc injuries require anatomic reduction and stabilization of the tarsometatarsal joints. We describe a novel technique that provides flexible fixation that is simple, cost-effective and that may offer certain advantages over more traditional techniques.

Keywords: Flexible fixation; Ligamentous injury; Lisfranc injury; Tarsometatarsal injury.
