Lisfranc injury (tarsometatarsal fracture dislcoation)
-
Lisfranc injury can range from purely soft tissue injury to fracutre dislocation as above
occurs at articulation of medial cuneiform to base of second metatarsal
- MVAs and athletic injuries are common mechanisms
- hyperflexion with abduction of forefoot (history of this mechanism in athletic injuries should raises suspicion for Lisfranc in subtle cases)
- diagnosis usually by plain radiograph - oblique, lateral or stress views may be needed
