About Midfoot Fracture And Or Dislocation Surgery

Midfoot fracture and/or dislocation surgery is a specialized pediatric orthopedic procedure performed to correct significant injuries to the central bones of a child's foot. This complex region, known as the Lisfranc joint complex, is crucial for stability and walking. The surgery aims to precisely realign broken bones and restore normal joint anatomy, which is essential for proper foot development and long-term function. Surgeons use techniques like open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with small plates, screws, or wires to hold the corrected position. This procedure is critical in children to prevent future complications like chronic pain, arthritis, or deformity as the child grows, ensuring a return to normal activities and sports.

Key Highlights

Restores precise anatomical alignment of the foot's arch and joints.Prevents long-term complications like post-traumatic arthritis and chronic pain.Uses child-specific implants and techniques to accommodate future bone growth.Essential for preserving normal foot development and gait in a growing child.Enables a return to high-impact activities and sports after full recovery.

Who is this surgery for?

Displaced or unstable fractures of the navicular, cuboid, or cuneiform bones.
Lisfranc joint complex injuries with significant ligament disruption or dislocation.
Open fractures where bone has broken through the skin.
Injuries causing severe deformity, loss of the foot's arch, or compartment syndrome.
Failure of non-surgical treatment (casting) to maintain acceptable alignment.

How to prepare

Comprehensive evaluation with X-rays, and often a CT scan, to assess fracture pattern and displacement.
Medical clearance to ensure the child is fit for anesthesia and surgery.
Discussion of the surgical plan, implants, and recovery expectations with the family.
Fasting as instructed by the anesthesiologist, typically for 6-8 hours before surgery.
Arranging for post-operative support at home, including crutches or a wheelchair.

Risks & possible complications

Standard surgical risks: infection, bleeding, or adverse reaction to anesthesia.
Nerve or blood vessel injury, potentially causing numbness or circulation issues.
Stiffness, chronic pain, or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
Hardware irritation, requiring a future minor procedure for removal.
Non-union (bone fails to heal) or malunion (bone heals in poor position).
Growth disturbance or development of post-traumatic arthritis in the future.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial period in a non-weight-bearing cast or splint for 6-8 weeks to protect healing.
Strict elevation of the foot to control swelling and pain management as prescribed.
Transition to a walking boot and gradual weight-bearing as guided by the surgeon, often around 8-12 weeks.
Physical therapy to restore strength, flexibility, and normal walking pattern (gait training).
Gradual return to sports and activities, typically after 4-6 months, with full recovery taking up to a year.
Regular follow-up X-rays to monitor healing and bone alignment.

Typical hospital stay: 2-4 days
Expected recovery time: 4-6 months for return to sports; up to 12 months for full maturation of healing

PATIENT REVIEW

Pooja Sharma is a cheerful 8-year-old...

Pooja Sharma is a cheerful 8-year-old who loves dancing and playing football with her older brothers. Her life changed when she jumped off a playground swing and landed awkwardly, feeling an immediate, sharp pain in her foot. Initially thought to be a bad sprain, the swelling and bruising worsened. An X-ray at her pediatrician's office revealed a complex Lisfranc injury, a dislocation and fracture in the midfoot. Dr. Rao, the pediatric orthopedic surgeon, explained that due to the joint displacement, surgery was necessary to realign the bones with plates and screws, preventing long-term arthritis and deformity. Pooja was terrified of surgery and cried about missing her dance recital. The procedure went smoothly, but she spent a week in a non-weight-bearing cast, feeling frustrated and isolated. With her family's support and video calls with her dance teacher, her spirits lifted. After six weeks, she transitioned to a walking boot and began physical therapy. Three months post-op, she was walking normally and has recently started gentle dance exercises. Her emotional journey was one of initial fear and sadness, transformed into resilience and a newfound appreciation for her body's strength.
