  Revisional Arthrodesis of Tarsometatarsal (LisFranc) Complex Injury Secondary to Non-Union

  Lei Wilson and Randy Semma

  Publication Date: 5-4-2023

  The tarsometatarsal joint and its components provide structural support for the foot. Notably the Lisfranc ligament is a fundamental stabilizer for the midfoot. Injuries to this component are complex and can be debilitating. These injuries require surgical intervention when significant displacement resulting in instability is involved.

  Following success of several previous repairs of Lisfranc fractures and dislocations, a treatment algorithm has been proposed. This case report demonstrates the success of the algorithm which has allowed the surgeon to perform reduction and repair in a reproducible, step-wise manner with minimal difficulty to ensure successional revisional arthrodesis of a nonunion

  COVID-19 and Incidence of Necrotizing Fasciitis: A Case Study

  Tehreem Sajjad, Carmen Johnson, and Janet Baatile-Ajrouche

  Publication Date: 5-2022

  COVID-19 manifests as a flu-like respiratory infection affecting multiple organ systems. Symptoms range from mild viral illness to severe acute respiratory infection. There is no definitive relationship between COVID-19 and cellulitis, inflammatory myositis, vasculitis, or necrotizing fasciitis. It is interesting to note that angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (Receptor for SARS-CoV-2) is present on endothelial cells in multiple organs, including dermal blood vessels and arterial smooth muscle cells. There are several theories that have formed to explain the relationship between COVID-19 and a necrotizing fasciitis infection. This study presents one unique case of an unvaccinated COVID+ patient and the necrotizing fasciitis infection that resulted.
