Abstract:
A Lisfranc injury between a second metatarsal and medial cuneiform is repaired by gaining access to the injury site and placing two arm members of a novel drill guide around the two neighboring bones at the injury site, drilling a guide wire through the two bones guided by the drill guide to a desired depth, measuring the depth of the guide wire to determine the proper length for a bone screw for securing the two bones, drilling a cannulated drill bit into the two bones to a drill depth using the guide wire as a guide, and threading a bone screw into the two bones.
