Abstract

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: As a novel noninvasive method, high frequency ultrasound has been used for the detection of skeletal muscle widely.
OBJECTIVE:To detect the thickness of the dorsal Lisfranc ligament between the first (medial) cuneiform (C1) and second metatarsal (M2) using high frequency ultrasound to evaluate the feasibility and clinical application value of high frequency ultrasound for the detection of the Lisfranc joint.
METHODS: Both feet of 100 healthy volunteers were included and the thickness of dorsal Lisfranc ligament and the distance between C1 and M2 were examined using high frequency ultrasound.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The display rate of high frequency ultrasound for the dorsal Lisfranc ligament in the 100 healthy volunteers was 100%. There was no significant difference in the thickness of the dorsal Lisfranc ligament between both feet or sexes in adults (P > 0.05); as did the distance between C1 and M2 (P > 0.05). These findings suggest that visual dorsal Lisfranc ligament is detected by high frequency ultrasound. The measurement of the distance between C1 and M2 by high frequency ultrasound may be a feasible, noninvasive, low-cost, and early diagnostic method for Lisfranc injuries.
