[Tarsometatarsal fracture dislocations].

H Chrintz, E Pahle

    Ugeskrift for Laeger

    Summary

    Tarsometatarsal fracture-dislocations require precise reduction and stabilization. Internal fixation with Kirschner wires is recommended to prevent re-dislocation and achieve good long-term outcomes in these complex foot injuries.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Traumatology
    • Podiatric Medicine

    Background:

    • Tarsometatarsal fracture-dislocations are complex injuries with potential for significant long-term morbidity.
    • Optimal management strategies for these injuries remain a subject of clinical interest.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the late results of treating tarsometatarsal fracture-dislocations.
    • To determine the efficacy of different reduction and fixation techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 16 cases of tarsometatarsal fracture-dislocations.
    • Median follow-up period of 9.5 years.
    • Analysis of treatment outcomes based on reduction accuracy and fixation methods (Kirschner wires).

    Main Results:

    • Good outcomes were observed in 9 out of 12 cases with achieved normal tarsometatarsal joint positions.
    • Re-dislocation occurred exclusively in cases without Kirschner wire stabilization.
    • No patients with persistent dislocation achieved good results.

    Conclusions:

    • Exact closed reduction or operative reduction with internal fixation using Kirschner wires is crucial for successful treatment.
    • Stabilization with Kirschner wires effectively prevents re-dislocation and improves late functional outcomes.
    • Accurate anatomical reduction is paramount for favorable results in tarsometatarsal fracture-dislocations.
