This retrospective study reviewed 13 patients who underwent surgical excision of a symptomatic os tibiale externum and modified Kidner repair of redundant posterior tibial tendon and seven patients who had Mitek suture anchoring. Compared with the non-Mitek group, the Mitek group had a quicker average return to unassisted ambulation (3 weeks compared with 4.42 weeks) and pain-free ambulation in normal shoewear (4 weeks compared with 6 weeks). The need for postoperative orthotic support was also decreased in the Mitek group (14% compared with 67%).

This article describes a case of lateral Lisfranc joint destabilization, without diastasis between the first and second metatarsals or injury to the first or second tarsometatarsal joints, in a patient with concomitant second and third metatarsal shaft fractures. Anatomic Lisfranc reduction and stabilization after open anatomic reduction and internal fixation of the metatarsal fractures gave excellent clinical and radiographic results at 2 years.

The authors obtained standardized abduction stress and standing AP radiographs from 20 volunteers (40 feet) with no history of foot injury. Similar interval radiographs were obtained from nine cadaveric feet that underwent sequential ligamentous sectioning of the Lisfranc and dorsal tarsometatarsal ligaments. Anatomic relationships of the tarsometatarsal joints were then examined. Disruption of the medial column line was present only in cadaveric specimens when the Lisfranc or dorsal tarsometatarsal ligaments were sectioned and in one foot in a patient with generalized ligamentous laxity.
17. 17 Potter H, Deland J, Gusmer P, Carson E, Warren R: Magnetic resonance imaging of the Lisfranc ligament of the foot. Foot Ankle Int 1998, 19:438-446. These authors examined the use of MRI in the diagnosis of partial and complete tears of the Lisfranc ligament in 23 patients with midfoot trauma. This imaging technique successfully identified 21 partial and complete thickness tears. Injury and subsequent radiographs showed no injuries in those patients with normal results on MRI. One case with equivocal radiographic results was shown on MRI to have a high-grade partial thickness Lisfranc ligament tear. The authors suggest that MRI may be most useful in aiding diagnosis in cases with equivocal plain radiographs.

This article examined the outcomes of partial and complete Lisfranc arthrodesis with cannulated screw fixation in nine patients in whom primary treatment had failed. A single- or double-incision surgical approach with joint resection, reduction, and cannulated cancellous screw fixation was used. At an average of 29 months, 78% of patients had good results (defined as no pain at any time, including during vigorous activity).
