ABSTRACT

The incidence of major Lisfranc dislocations or injuries to the tarsometatarsal joint has increased. Although a rare problem in the general population (0.2% of all orthopaedic injuries), this injury is frequently encountered in certain subgroups; one case series documented an incidence of midfoot dislocation in college soccer players of 4% per year.[1] Lisfranc dislocations normally occur due to 2 different mechanisms. High- velocity LLFs normally involve dramatic mechanisms, including high- speed road accidents and falls from considerable heights. The forces involved often result in displaced, multi-fragmentary fractures, visible midfoot swelling and bruising; high-velocity LLFs rarely present a diagnostic dilemma. These injuriesmay constitute a surgical emergency[2], as the neurovascular supply to the midfoot and toe may be at risk, and rupture of the dorsal foot artery and tissue swelling may cause the development of compartment syndrome.
