Abstract

LISFRANC FRACTURE-DISLOCATIONS
Lisfranc fracture-dislocations are an uncommon injury involving the tarsometatarsal joint and represent a broad
spectrum of injuries, which can be purely ligamentous or may involve the osseous and articular structures. Lisfranc
injuries are often misdiagnosed and mismanaged; if they are not detected at an early stage and appropriately treated,
they can cause long-term disability and will lead to midfoot arthritis. This article outlines the anatomy, epidemiology,
classification, investigation and current evidence on treatment of this injury.
