Lisfranc Injuries: Causes, Symptoms & Podiatric Treatment at Kallangur Podiatry
Understanding Lisfranc Injuries
Lisfranc injuries involve the midfoot, specifically the Lisfranc joint complex where the metatarsal bones connect with the tarsal bones. These injuries can range from mild sprains to severe fractures or dislocations and require prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent long-term complications.
A Lisfranc injury occurs when the ligaments or bones in the midfoot are damaged, disrupting the stability of the foot arch. This often happens due to trauma such as a fall, twisting injury, or direct impact.
