This study introduces a novel ligament reinforcement technique for treating Lisfranc injuries using a flexible fixation device. This method offers a new option for managing these complex foot and ankle injuries.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic surgery
- Foot and ankle trauma
- Sports medicine
Background:
- Lisfranc (tarsometatarsal) joint injuries encompass a spectrum from ligamentous tears to severe fracture-dislocations.
- Current treatments include reduction with pinning, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), and arthrodesis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a novel ligament reinforcement technique for treating purely ligamentous Lisfranc injuries.
- To describe the application of a flexible fixation device in managing these injuries.
Main Methods:
- A descriptive presentation of a specific surgical technique.
- Utilizing a flexible fixation device for ligament reinforcement in Lisfranc injuries.
Main Results:
- The study presents a technique, implying feasibility and potential efficacy.
- Details on the outcomes and effectiveness of this specific technique are based on expert opinion (Level V evidence).
Conclusions:
- A flexible fixation device offers a potential new approach for ligament reinforcement in Lisfranc injuries.
- Further research is needed to validate the outcomes of this technique.

Fixation and Sectioning
The simplest type of preparation is the wet mount, in which the specimen is placed in a drop of liquid on the slide. A liquid specimen can be directly deposited on the slide using a dropper. Solid specimens, such as skin scraping, can be placed on the slide before adding a drop of liquid to prepare the wet mount. Sometimes the liquid is simply water, but stains are often added...
