Video Summary

In this video presentation, Junaid Amir discusses the occurrence of parallelism in mid-foot fracture dislocations. He references previous studies that highlight the issue of misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis in such cases. The speaker also mentions various identifiers used to diagnose lisfranc injuries, but emphasizes the ease and reliability of assessing intermetatarsal angle and metatarsal parallelism. The presentation then explains the methodology used to explore the prevalence of parallelism in midfoot injuries, including data collection and analysis. The findings reveal that lateral column injuries have a significantly higher proportion of observed parallelism on radiographs. However, most patients do not display evidence of parallelism. The speaker concludes by highlighting the benefits of intermetatarsal angle measurement and parallelism assessment in certain types of midfoot injuries. Credit is given to several researchers and their studies throughout the presentation.
