Abstract
Lisfranc injuries are traumatic disruptions of the tarsometatarsal joint complex. Injuries range from subtle ligamentous injuries to significant fracture dislocations. These relatively uncommon injuries are frequently missed during the initial presentation in emergency departments. Delayed or inadequate treatment can lead to chronic pain, midfoot arthritis, and significant functional disability. Early recognition and appropriate management of Lisfranc injuries are crucial for achieving optimal outcomes. Treatment strategies range from conservative management for stable injuries to surgical intervention for displaced or unstable injuries.
