Diastasis of the first intermetatarsal space and step-off at the articulation between the second metatarsal base and intermediate cuneiform are the main imaging findings. 2022 Dec;142(12):3705-3714. doi: 10.1007/s00402-021-04182-7. Results: Evid Based Complement Alternat Med. In 20% of fractures the foot is in pronation with maximum tension on . {"url":"/signup-modal-props.json?lang=us\u0026email="}, Lustosa L, Lisfranc injury - an approach. retrospectively reviewed 61 patients with Lisfranc injuries treated surgically over a 21-year with an average follow-up of 10.9 years and found that most patients were able to return to their previous level of function and employment. These give your . Thierfelder KM, Gemescu IN, Weber MA, Meier R. Radiologe. FIGURE 27.1 Lisfranc ligament injury. The bases of all of the metatarsals The injury starts on the lateral side, since that is where the maximum tension is. The .gov means its official. 2013 Oct;27(10):1196-201. We retrospectively reviewed all foot radiographs without traumatic injury made between August 2014 and February 2015 in all patients younger than 18. Lisfranc injuries range from sprain to fracture-dislocation. Bookmarks. Lisfranc injuries range from sprain to fracture with or without dislocation and result from crushing or rotational force on a plantar flexed forefoot Fractures are classified as 1) homolateral (MTs displaced in same direction), 2) isolated (1-2 MTs displaced) or 3) divergent (MTs displaced in opposite directions) Imaging Findings He also reviews both non-surgical and surgical considerations when dealing with Lisfranc injuries. Line drawn along long axis of talus should intersect long axis of 5, On lateral view, bones of the midfoot will be subluxed or dislocated in a plantar direction, Named after Jacques Lisfranc, a field surgeon in Napoleons army, who described a new technique for an amputation used to treat frostbite of the forefoot in soldiers on the Russian front, Used today to describe fractures and dislocations that occur at the junction between the tarsal bones of the midfoot and the metatarsals of the forefoot, Mechanism involves severe plantar flexion of the foot, Falling from a height, down stairs or off a curb, Ligamentous injuries alone, even without fracture or dislocation, may result in instability on weightbearing, If it remains intact, either an avulsion of the lateral border of the 1, If it tears, these fractures may not occur, All of the metatarsals are dislocated to the same side, May be associated with a fracture of the 1, Usually involves medial displacement of the 1, Occasionally may involve only medial displacement of only the 1, Conventional radiographs are usually sufficient to demonstrate the injury, On lateral, a line drawn along long axis of talus should intersect long axis of 5, Stress views of the foot with the patient sedated will usually demonstrate any instability, Lisfranc dislocations may be missed in up to 20% of cases, Suspect it is present if there is a gap of more than 5 mm between bases of 1, Sprains with an otherwise stable tarsal-metatarsal joint can be managed with immobilization.
