Review Meta Analysis
Surgical outcome of chronic Lisfranc injury without secondary degenerative arthritis: A systematic literature review✰.
Chronic Lisfranc joint injuries (tarsometatarsal, TMT) can present as a variety of clinical symptoms and radiographic findings.

For patients who receive a delayed diagnosis and/or present with no signs of arthritic changes, selecting the most appropriate treatment can be challenging. This article provides a systematic review of current surgical treatment options and outcomes for patients with a chronic Lisfranc injury but no secondary degenerative changes. ⋯ Level IV; Systematic Review of Level IV Studies.
