Lisfranc Deformity Arthrosis at Foot and Ankle Clinic DRHC Dubai

Overview

Lisfranc deformity arthrosis is a condition affecting the Lisfranc joint complex in the midfoot, where the metatarsal bones connect with the tarsal bones. This joint is crucial for maintaining the stability and arch of the foot. When the Lisfranc joint is injured or dislocated, it can lead to chronic pain and arthritis, known as Lisfranc deformity arthrosis. At DRHC Dubai, we offer specialized treatment and management for this complex condition to help patients regain function and alleviate pain.

Symptom of Lisfranc Deformity Arthrosis

• Pain: Chronic pain in the midfoot, particularly when bearing weight.
• Swelling: Persistent swelling in the midfoot region.
• Bruising: Bruising on the top and bottom of the foot.
• Instability: Feeling of instability or difficulty in maintain balance.
• Deformity: Visible deformity or changes in the shape of the foot.
• Difficulty Walking: Trouble walking or an inability to push off the foot during movement.

Causes of Lisfranc Deformity Arthrosis

Lisfranc deformity arthrosis can result from:

• Trauma: Direct trauma to the midfoot, such as a fall or heavy object dropping on the foot.
• Twisting Injuries: Twisting of the foot, often occurring in sports or accidents.
• Chronic Stress: Repetitive stress injuries, common in athletes and military personnel.

Diagnosis

Accurate diagnosis at DRHC Dubai involves:

• Clinical Examination: Detailed physical examination to assess pain, swelling, and deformity.
• Imaging: Advanced imaging techniques, including X-rays, CT scans, and MRI, to visualize the extent of joint damage and deformity.

Treatment

Our multidisciplinary approach to treating Lisfranc deformity arthrosis includes:

1. Non-Surgical Treatments:
   • Rest and Immobilization: Reducing activity and using a cast or boot to immobilize the foot.
   • Medication: NSAIDs for pain relief and inflammation reduction.
   • Orthotics: Custom orthotic devices to support the foot and reduce stress on the affected joints.
   • Physical Therapy: Tailored exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and stability.
2. Surgical Options:
   • Internal Fixation: Surgical realignment of the bones using screws and plates to stabilize the joint.
   • Fusion Surgery: In Severe Cases, fusion of the affected joints to eliminate pain and improve stability.

Recover and Prognosis

The recovery process varies based on the severity of the condition and the chosen treatment method. Non-surgical treatments may take several months, while surgical recovery can extend to a year with rehabilitation. Most patients experience significant pain relief and improved function with appropriate treatment.
