Abstract:
The Lisfranc joint complex is an anatomical association of many bones and articulation, restrained by an even more complex network of ligaments, capsules, and fascia, which must work in concert to provide normal and painless motion. Careful diagnostic workup with high-quality radiographs and computed tomography of the foot are used to diagnose injuries and fractures of this complex. We have to understand the normal anatomy and injury mechanism in order to appropriately treat Lisfranc injuries. Good results have been associated with anatomic reductions of all bones, which was achieved with restoration of proper alignment.
