The tarsometatarsal joints (Lisfranc joints) are arthrodial joints in the foot. The tarsometatarsal joints involve the first, second and third cuneiform bones, the cuboid bone and the metatarsal bones. The eponym of Lisfranc joint is 18th–19th-century surgeon and gynecologist Jacques Lisfranc de St. Martin. [1]

2023年2月9日 · TMT joint pain may indicate an injury to the TMT joints. Such injuries are rare but potentially serious. Without treatment, they may lead to arthritis or cause the arch of the foot to collapse....

The TMT joint complex represents the dividing line between the midfoot and the forefoot and is made up of bony and ligamentous elements that combine to add structural support to the transverse arch. You might find these chapters and articles relevant to this topic.

2024年3月6日 · The tarsometatarsal joints, also known as Lisfranc joints, are plane synovial joints formed by the articulations between the distal surfaces of (some of) the tarsal bones and the bases of the metatarsal bones of the foot.

The tarsometatarsal joints (Latin: articulationes tarsometatarsales) are three synovial plane type joints located in the foot. These articulations are formed between the most distally located tarsal bones (cuboid, lateral cuneiform, intermediate cuneiform and medial cuneiform) and the metatarsal bones.

This is an operation to “fuse” or stiffen one or more of the small joints in the middle of the foot (the “tarsometatarsal” joints). Tarsometatarsal fusions are done for two main reasons: We often inject local anaesthetic or steroid into damaged joints, before any surgery is considered, to see whether this helps the pain.

2022年11月21日 · In our paper we report on our experience of TMTJ fusion using localised bone grafting from either the calcaneum or cuneiform. This incorporates a novel operative technique for graft placement which increases contact area for healing and restores foot biomechanics.

2016年8月28日 · Arthritic disease of the midfoot includes primary degenerative arthritis (OA), secondary posttraumatic arthritis, inflammatory arthritidies (such as RA), seronegative spondyloarthropathies, and crystal-associated arthritis, which includes gout and pseudogout (chondrocalcinosis).

Tarsometatarsal (TMT) arthritis is characterized by instability and pain in the foot. The commonest cause is post-traumatic arthritis. A Lisfranc injury involves the articulation between the medial cuneiform and the base of the second metatarsal, which is …

What is a tarsometatarsal fusion? This is an operation to “fuse” or stiffen one or more of the small joints in the middle of the foot (the “tarsometatarsal” joints). Why would it be performed? Tarsometatarsal fusions are done for two main reasons:
