Eric Giza, MD (Sacramento, CA), discusses technological innovations in the surgical management of Lisfranc injuries. Dr. Giza covers indications for open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) versus fusion as well as technique pearls for the InternalBrace™ technique.
The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue approximation during the healing period and is not intended as a replacement for the native ligament. The InternalBrace technique is for use during soft tissue-to-bone fixation procedures and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.
