1) A Lisfranc injury involves damage to the ligaments and bones in the midfoot region where the metatarsals connect to the tarsus.
2) It is important to properly diagnose and treat Lisfranc injuries, as untreated or misdiagnosed injuries can lead to long-term functional limitations.
3) Diagnosis involves clinical exam, weight-bearing x-rays, and sometimes advanced imaging like CT or MRI. Surgical treatment aims to restore proper alignment and stabilize the injured joints through open reduction and internal fixation.

Lisfranc injuries are notorious injuries easily missed and difficult to diagnose in subtle cases. Diagnosis and management is changing with changing time and fixation is the dictum. If significant injury or only ligamentous injury the newer trend is arthodesis.
Foot and ankle trauma, common pitfalls, imaging modalities and radiographic occult fractures. The concept of the PITFL or "pitiful injury" an easily overlooked ligamentous injury of the talocrural joint
Distal femur fractures are traumatic injuries involving the region extending from the distal metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction to the articular surface of the femoral condyles.
Diagnosis is made radiographically with CT studies often required to assess for intra-articular extension.
Treatment is generally operative with ORIF, intramedullary nail, or distal femur replacement depending on available bone stock, age of patient, and patient activity demands.
Patella Fractures are traumatic knee injuries caused by direct trauma or rapid contracture of the quadriceps with a flexed knee that can lead to loss of the extensor mechanism.
Diagnosis can be made clinically with the inability to perform a straight leg raise and confirmed with radiographs of the knee.
Treatment is either immobilization or surgical fixation depending on fracture displacement and integrity of the extensor mechanism.
Proximal third tibia fractures are relatively common fractures of the proximal tibial shaft that are associated with high rates of soft tissue compromise and malunion (valgus and procurvatum).
Diagnosis is made with orthogonal radiographs of the tibia with CT scan often required to assess for intra-articular extension.
Treatment generally consists of surgical open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) versus intramedullary nail fixation.

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent
Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

2. • Injuries to the foot can have a dramatic impact on the
overall health, activity, and emotional status of patients.
• A recent study looking at the outcomes of multiple trauma
patients with and without foot involvement found a
significant worsening of the outcome in the presence of a
foot injury.
3. • Their conclusion is that more attention and
aggressive management need to be given to
foot injuries to improve the outcome of
multiply injured patients.
4. Jacques Lisfranc de St. Martin
(April 2, 1790 – May 13, 1847)
• Pioneering French surgeon and gynecologist.
Pioneered …………….
• Lithotomy
• Amputation of Cervix Uteri
• Removal of Rectum
The Lisfranc joint and the Lisfranc
fracture are named after him.
5. • Lisfranc described an amputation involving the
tarsometatarsal joint due to a severe gangrene
that developed when a soldier fell from a horse
with his foot caught in a stirrup.
7. • Lisfranc joint complex
consists of three
articulations including
– Tarsometatarsal articulation
.
– Intermetatarsal articulation.
– Intertarsal articulations.
8. • The Lisfranc complex is made up of bony and
ligamentous elements
• The bony architecture is composed of
• 5 MTs and their respective articulations with
the cuneiforms medially and the cuboid
laterally.
9. Stability of TMT joint
• The trapezoidal shape of
the middle three MT
bases and their associated
cuneiforms produce a
stable arch referred to as
the “transverse” or
“Roman” arch.
10. • The keystone to the transverse arch is the
second TMT joint, a product of the recessed
middle cuneiform
11. • Peicha et al showed that persons
with Lisfranc injury had a shallower
medial mortise depth compared with
control subjects. They suggested that
adequate mortise depth provides for
greater stability by allowing for a stronger
Lisfranc ligament.
Peicha G, Labovitz J, Seibert FJ, et al.: The anatomy of the joint as a risk factor
for Lisfranc dislocation and fracture-dislocation: An anatomical and radiological case
control study. J Bone Joint Surg Br2002;84(7):981-985
17. • In a biomechanical evaluation, Solan et al
assessed the strength of each ligamentous
set—dorsal, interosseous, and plantar—by
stressing it to failure. They concluded that
the Lisfranc ligament was strongest,
followed by the plantar ligaments and the
dorsal ligaments.
18. • Structural stability to the transverse arch is
enhanced by the short plantar muscles as well
as by the muscular and tendinous support of
the peroneus longus and the tibialis anterior
and tibialis posterior.

23. Incidence
• Injuries to the Lisfranc joint occur in 1 per 55,000
individuals each year in the United States and are 2
to 3 times more common in men.
• Approximately 4% of professional football players
sustain Lisfranc injuries each year
26. • Two different plantar flexion
mechanisms lead to dorsal joint
failure.
• The first occurs in ankle equinus
and metatarsophalangeal joint
plantar flexion, with the Lisfranc
joint engaged along an elongated
lever arm. The joint is “rolled
over” by the body
30. Indirect injury
• Twisting injuries lead
to forceful abduction
of the forefoot, often
resulting in a 2nd
metatarsal base
fracture and/or
compression fracture
of the cuboid (“ nut
cracker”)
31. Classification
• Classification systems are inherently effective
in allowing for the description of both high-
and low-impact injuries.
• Many Classifications developed and updated.
• None of them useful in Deciding the
treatment and overall prognosis and Clinical
Outcome.
32. Quenu and Kuss (1909):
• Homolateral
• Isolated
• Divergent
1. Modified by Hardcastle in 1982
2. Further modified by Myerson in 1986
41. • Columns of the midfootmedial column
– includes first tarsometatarsal joint
• middle column
– includes second and third tarsometatarsal joints
• lateral column
– includes fourth and fifth tarsometatarsal
joints (most mobile)
42. Nunley and Vertullo Athletic
Injuries(2002)
3-stage diagnostic classification.
• Stage I - A tear of dorsal ligaments and sparing of
the Lisfranc ligament
• Stage II - Direct injury to the Lisfranc ligament with
elongation or rupture(Radiographic diastasis of 1 to
5 mm greater than the contralateral foot )
• Stage III - A progression of the above, with damage
to the plantar TMT ligaments and joints, along with
potential fracture
43.
44. Clinical Findings
• Midfoot pain with
difficulty in weight
bearing
• Swelling across the
dorsum of the foot
• Deformity variable
due to possible
spontaneous
reduction
45. • Check neurovascular
status for compromise of
dorsalis pedis artery
and/or deep peroneal
nerve injury
• COMPARTMENT
SYNDROME
47. • The passive pronation-abduction test
described by is performed by eliciting
pain on abduction and pronation of the
forefoot with the hindfoot fixed.
48. • Trevino and Kodros described a “rotation
test,” in which stressing the second
tarsometatarsal joint by elevating and
depressing the second metatarsal head
relative to the first metatarsal head elicits
pain at the Lisfranc joint.
52. Radiographic Evaluation
• AP, Lateral, and 30°
Oblique X-Rays are
mandatory
• AP: The medial
margin of the 2nd
metatarsal base and
medial margin of the
medial cuneifrom
should be aligned
58. • A “fleck sign” should
be sought in the medial
cuneiform–second
metatarsal space. This
represents an avulsion
of the Lisfranc
ligament.
59. • Lisfranc injuries BIG challenge
• 20% of injuries go unrecognized, likely
secondary to the difficulty encountered with
standard Xray
• Many so-called sprains present with non–
weight-bearing radiographs that are difficult
to interpret.
60. • 50% of athletes with midfoot injuries had
normal non–weight-bearing radiographs
61. Stress Radiographs
• Radiographs must be obtained with the patient
bearing weight in case of subtle injuries.
• If the radiograph reveals no displacement, and the
patient cannot bear weight, a short leg cast should
be used for 2 weeks, and the radiographs should be
repeated with weight bearing
65. MRI
• MRI has an advantage in identifying partial
ligament injuries and subtle ligament injuries.
• Especially useful in low velocity injuries and in
settings of Normal radiographs.
66. Magnetic Resonance Imaging
• In a recent study evaluating the predictive value
of MRI for midfoot instability, Raikin et al found
that MRI demonstrating a rupture or grade 2
sprain of the plantar ligament between the first
cuneiform and the bases of the second and third
MTs is highly predictive of midfoot instability, and
these patients should be treated with surgical
stabilization
69. Stress Fluroscopy under
Anaesthesia
The foot is stressed in a medial/lateral plane. The forefoot is forced laterally with the hindfoot
brought medially….Pronation Abduction Stress
71. Check Stability………..
• The definition of instability
presently is defined as a greater
than 2-mm shift in normal joint
position.
• Diastasis between the first and second MT in
the injured midfoot is considered normal
provided that it measures <2.7 mm.
72. Goals of Treatment
• Painless,
• Plantigrade
• Stable foot.
• Maintenance of anatomic alignment seems to
be the critical factor in achieving a satisfactory
result.
73. Non operative Management
• Indications
– <2-mm displacement of the tarsometatarsal joint in
any plane
– No evidence of joint line instability with weight-
bearing or stress radiographs
74. Treatment
– Short leg non-weight-bearing cast
for 6 weeks
– Weight bearing cast for an
additional 4 to 6 weeks
– Recheck stability with stress views
at 10 days from injury
75. Surgical Intervention
• Best results are obtained through anatomic
reduction and stable fixation.
The timing of surgery is predicted on resolution
of swelling, when the skin begins to wrinkle.
Lisfranc injuries are best managed within the first
2 weeks following the inciting event.
76. • Closed manipulation under anesthesia with
casting as a definitive treatment has been shown
to be a poor choice because maintenance of the
reduction is too difficult and residual deformity
can lead to significant morbidity.
80. Operative Treatment
Technique
• Reduce and
provisionally stabilize
2nd TMT joint
• Reduce and
provisionally stabilize
1st TMT joint
• If lateral TMT joints
remain displaced use
additional incision
2nd met. Base
unreduced
reduced
81. Operative Treatment
Technique
• If reductions are
anatomic proceed
with permanent
fixation:
1. Screw fixation is
preferable for the
medial column
2. “Pocket hole” to
prevent dorsal cortex
fracture
82. Operative Treatment
Technique
3. Screws are
positional not lag
4. To aid reduction or
if still unstable use a
screw from medial
cuneiform to base of
2nd metatarsal
83. Operative Treatment
Technique
5. If intercuneiform
instability exists use an
intercuneiform screw
6.The lateral metatarsals
frequently reduce with
the medial column and
pin fixation for mobility
is acceptable
87. • Dorsal plating for bridging fixation of
comminuted fractures can be used.
88. • Screw fixation remains the traditional
fixation technique, although there is
evidence to suggest that primary
arthrodesis may be superior for the
purely ligamentous midfoot injury.
89.
90.
91. Postoperative Management
• Splint 10 –14 days, nonweight bearing
• Short leg cast, nonweight bearing 4 – 6 weeks
• Short leg weight bearing cast or brace for an
additional 4 – 6 weeks
• Arch support for 3 – 6 months
92. Hardware Removal
• Lateral column stabilization can be removed at
6 to 12 weeks
• Medial fixation should not be removed for 4
to 6 months
• Some advocate leaving screws indefinitely
unless symptomatic
95. LATE COMPLICATIONS
• Post traumatic arthritis
1. Present in most, but may not be symptomatic
2. Related to initial injury and adequacy of
reduction
3. Treated with arthrodesis for medial column
4. Interpositional arthroplasty may be
considered for lateral column
96. • Good or excellent results have been
accomplished in 50% to 95% of patients
with anatomic alignment, compared with
17% to 30% of patients with nonanatomic
alignment following injury
97. • Neuromas.
• Flatfoot deformity with instability with weight
bearing.
• Painful hardware, hardware failure, or
breakage.
• Complex regional pain syndrome.
98. Prognosis
• Long rehabilitation (> 1 year)
• Incomplete reduction leads to increased
incidence of deformity and chronic foot pain
• Incidence of traumatic arthritis (0 – 58%) and
related to intraarticular surface damage and
comminution.
