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.

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:

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.

2023年5月15日 · Midfoot fusion (also known as midfoot arthrodesis) is an orthopedic surgery that permanently fixes or “fuses” the bones of one or more joints in the midfoot. It may include a tarsometatarsal, navicular-cuneiform, and/or talonavicular fusion. The midfoot bones include the navicular, the cuboid and three cuneiform bones.

TMT in Medical commonly refers to the Tarsometatarsal Joint, which is the joint complex between the tarsal and metatarsal bones in the foot, playing a crucial role in foot mechanics and stability during movement.

2020年9月15日 · The workhorse for surgery in the midfoot is a TMTJ fusion; however, not all TMTJ fusions are in situ. Deformity correction may include fusion of the foot with a rocker bottom, correction of a hallux valgus (Lapidus procedure), and …
