Abstract

Lisfranc injury fixation or arthrodesis typically involves the reduction and fixation of several tarsometatarsal joints with either screws or a plate and screw constructs. A successful fixation or arthrodesis of the Lisfranc joint requires proper screw placement from the medial cuneiform to the base of the second metatarsal. This is typically done free-hand; however, we describe use of an anterior cruciate ligament guide to help maintain reduction and assist with drill trajectory for more accurate screw or suture button construct placement.

Levels of evidence: Level V.
