Lisfranc Injury Treatment
Lisfranc Injury Surgery in Hawaii
Surgical treatment of a Lisfranc injury addresses instability or fracture-dislocation of the midfoot joints that connect the forefoot to the midfoot. These injuries can lead to chronic pain and collapse if not treated appropriately.
Surgery is typically indicated for displaced or unstable injuries.
How Surgery Is Performed
Lisfranc surgery involves realigning the affected joints and stabilizing them using screws or plates. In some cases, primary fusion of the injured joints may be recommended to improve long-term outcomes.
Goals of surgery include:
Restoring midfoot alignment
Stabilizing the arch
Preventing post-traumatic arthritis
Improving long-term function
Recovery After Surgery
Recovery requires careful protection of the midfoot during healing.
Typical recovery progression includes:
Prolonged period of non–weight bearing
Gradual transition to protected and then full weight bearing
Physical therapy focused on gait retraining and strength
Gradual return to daily activities over several months
Risks and Considerations
Risks include stiffness, arthritis, hardware irritation, nonunion, or persistent pain. Early diagnosis and proper stabilization are key to optimal outcomes.
