Official title
A Randomized, Prospective Comparison of Stainless Steel and Bioabsorbable Screw Fixation of Lisfranc Foot Injuries
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
I hypothesize that absorbable screw fixation of the foot's Lisfranc ligaments does not yield significant differences in postoperative foot stability, ligament function, and symptoms when compared to steel screw fixation. In addition, absorbable screw fixation of the Lisfranc ligaments offers the advantage that a second surgical procedure to remove the screw is not necessary.
