The Lisfranc joint complex is composed of complex bony structures, ligaments, and soft tissues and has a systematic interrelationship. Sufficient radiologic modalities should be considered for an accurate initial diagnosis. Based on an accurate understanding of normal anatomy and restoration of anatomical relationships, the diagnosis should be obtained, and more discussion is needed on detailed treatment strategies.
PURPOSE To analyze the treatment of clinical results of the percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation of acute mallet fractures percutaneousely reduced by towel clip. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From August 2005 to April 2009, we evaluated nine fingers in eight patients, more than three months follow up. The type of injury was a axial loading in seven cases and direct blow in two. The average follow-up period was 10.1 months (range: 3~41 months). The indication of operative treatment was the presence of large bony fragment or the palmar subluxation of the distal phalnx. RESULTS: The range of motion was 3.7degrees (0~10degrees) in extension lag and 76.7degrees (60~90degrees) of flexion of the distal interphalangeal joint. CONCLUSION: The percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation of acute mallet fractures percutaneousely reduced by towel clip is one of the easy and simple method to stabilizing of bony mallet fracture.

Dislocations of the interphalangeal joint of the great toe that are irreducible are very rare. Invagination of the plantar plate or the sesamoid bone into the IP joint, which prevents reduction. To our knowledge, however, dislocations of the IP joint of the great toe that were irreducible because of lateral collateral ligament entrapment, not invagination of the plantar plate or the sesamoid bone, have not been reported by any English literature. We report a 29-year-old ballet dancer who sustained an irreducible dislocation of the interphalangeal joint of the great toe owing to lateral collateral ligament entrapment.
