Objective:Todiscuss the clinical effects of internal fixation with hollow screw on the treatment of Lisfranc joint injury. Methods:From January, 2010 to April, 2014, 100 patients with Lisfranc joint injury were treated withinternal fixation with hollow screw (50 patients in the observation group) and Kirschner wire(50 patients in the comparison group)respectively. Subsequently, the therapeutic effects, the improvement of joint function, the time consumed in the duration of recovery and the overall treatment process of the two groups werestatisticallycompared. Results:Both groups enjoyed an improvement in their joint function, while indexes as the therapeutic efficiency, and the time spent on hospitalization and recovery collected from the observationgroup were proved to bemore favorable than those from the comparison group, which were statisticallydistinct (P<0.05). Conclusion: Compared with internal fixation with Kirschner wire, internal fixation with hollow screw is proved to be more workable and produces more favorable therapeutic effects on the treatment of Lisfranc joint injury. Hence, it deserves popularization and application in the clinical treatment.
