Treatment of Lisfranc fracture dislocations with an interosseous suture button technique: A review of 3 cases

Lisfranc fracture dislocations are complex and difficult to treat. Making the correct diagnosis and achieving an anatomical reduction are important factors in regard to achieving a favorable outcome with this injury. We describe a new technique that we have found to be useful for stabilizing Lisfranc fracture dislocations. This method is relatively fast, minimally invasive, and effective, and it eliminates the need for implant removal. To date, we have achieved predictable results for stabilizing and treating these difficult injuries with the use of a suture endobutton, instead of traditional interfragmental screw fixation. In this report, we describe 3 cases in which this method was used with satisfactory short-term results. Level of Clinical Evidence: 4.
