The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the functional
and radiological outcomes of bridge plating, screw fixation, and
a combination of both methods for the treatment of Lisfranc fracture
dislocations. A total of 108 patients were treated for a Lisfranc fracture
dislocation over a period of nine years. Of these, 38 underwent
transarticular screw fixation, 45 dorsal bridge plating, and 25
a combination technique. Injuries were assessed preoperatively according
to the Myerson classification system. The outcome measures included
the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, the
validated Manchester Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ) functional
tool, and the radiological Wilppula classification of anatomical
reduction.Aims
Patients and Methods
The aetiology of hallux valgus is almost certainly multifactoral.
The biomechanics of the first ray is a common factor to most. There
is very little literature examining the anatomy of the proximal
metatarsal articular surface and its relationship to hallux valgus
deformity. We examined 42 feet from 23 specimens in this anatomical dissection
study.Introduction
