Abstract
Trauma of the joint of LISFRANC, is a rare but serious entity insofar as it can lead to disabling sequels even at the standing station. Our study focuses on a series of 20 cases of LISFRANC dislocation fractures over a 5-year period from 2014 to 2018. In our series, 3 cases received orthopedic treatment after reduction under spinal anesthesia, and 17 cases were treated surgically with location of osteosynthesis material. Both types of treatment were supplemented by immobilization plastered for 6 weeks followed by rehabilitation. After a follow-up of 18 months, the progression was poor in 30% of cases, 10% due to insufficient orthopedic treatment, and 20% of bad surgical cases that presented certain complications. Fractures of frank lilies are lesions of poor prognosis. They must be diagnosed and treated urgently while respecting a good anatomical reduction of the joint.
