In this study we decided to observe the incidence of osteoarthritis following ORIF of Lisfranc joint injury. We also intended to point out the influence of different factors such as late diagnosis of the fracture, co-fractures, and open or close fractures on the incidence of osteoarthritis. Patients with a dislocation more than 2 millimeters in simple AP, lateral and oblique radiograms of the foot who went through ORIF were included. Patients were classified according to: Anatomic or non-anatomic reduction, open or close fractures, presence of other fractures and early or late diagnosis (up to 6 weeks). The incidence of osteoarthritis was then compared in these groups.Introduction
