There was significant improvement in PROMIS PF between 6 and 12 weeks ( P < 0.001), 12-24 weeks ( P < 0.001), and 24-48 weeks ( P = 0.022). A significant difference in PROMIS PF between high and low-energy injuries was seen at 0 week (28.4 vs. 31.4, P = 0.010). PROMIS PI scores at 0, 6, 12, 24, and 48 weeks were 62.2, 58.5, 56.6, 55.7, and 55.6, respectively. There was significant improvement in PROMIS PI 0-6 weeks ( P = 0.016). A significant difference in PROMIS PI between high-energy and low-energy injuries was seen at 48 weeks with scores of (58.6 vs. 54.2, P = 0.044).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>After Lisfranc open reduction and internal fixation, patients can expect improvement in PF up to 1 year after surgery, with the biggest improvement in PROMIS PF scores between 6 and 12 weeks and PROMIS PI scores between 0 and 6 weeks after surgery. Regardless the energy type, Lisfranc injuries seem to regain comparable PF by 6-12 months after surgery. However, patients with higher energy Lisfranc injuries should be counseled that these injuries may lead to worse PI at 1 year after surgery as compared with lower energy injuries.</p><p><strong>Level of evidence: </strong>Prognostic Level III.
