X1 Blade Shoe Stiffners

12/11/13 - Indianapolis - Scott L. from Sweet Grass, Montana order an X1 Blade Shoe Stiffner - "medium spring" to treat his Lisfranc injury .
    A Lisfranc (midfoot) injury occurs when bones in the midfoot that form the arch on top of the foot are broken or torn by either a low-energy injury (football, soccer, or stumbles over a flexed foot) or high-energy (trauma or fall fro a height).
   This midfoot joint complex so important in walking is called the Lisfranc joint. The Lisfranc joint was named after Jaques Lisfranc de St. Martin. He was French surgeon and gynecologist who served in the Napoleonic army in the 1800s. Dr. Lisfranc pioneered many types of original surgical
    If there are no fractures or dislocations in the joint and the ligaments are not completely torn, a strict nonsurgical treatment may include non-weightbearing casts for a period of time. After that progresses to weightbearing in a removable walker boot or an orthotic like X1 Blade Shoe Stiffner - "medium sping".
   Recovery may vary even tho the surgical or nonsurgical treatment was excellent. Arthritis may occur because of damage done to the cartilage during the injury and cause chronic pain. This may require fusion in the future.
   An X1 Blade Shoe Stiffner - "rigid" could help  relieve the chronic arthritic pain by immobilizing the Lisfranc joint externally (in shoe). Thus delaying a possible surgical procedure.
