Lisfranc injuries occur at the midfoot where a cluster of small bones forms an arch on top of the foot between the ankle and the toes.Lisfranc fracture-dislocations are swollen and painful with some bruising and inability to put any weight on the foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lisfranc injuries occur as a result of direct or indirect forces to the foot. A direct force often involves something heavy falling on the foot. Indirect force commonly involves twisting the foot.Commonly occur in automobile accident victims, military personnel, runners, horseback riders, football players and participants of other contact sports, or something as simple as missing a step on a staircase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The majority of the recovery occurs in the first 6 months, but it is often a year or more before patients reach their point of maximal improvement. If the surgical treatment fails or the joint damage from the injury leads to severe arthritis, then a fusion (arthrodesis) of the Lisfranc joints may be necessary. Despite the stiffness of a fused joint most patients with successful fusion of the midfoot joints have good function of the foot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8104,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"condition-category":[183,184],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/footcheck.yourfootpain.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fact-sheets\/7487"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/footcheck.yourfootpain.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fact-sheets"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/footcheck.yourfootpain.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/fact-sheets"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/footcheck.yourfootpain.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fact-sheets\/7487\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8103,"href":"https:\/\/footcheck.yourfootpain.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fact-sheets\/7487\/revisions\/8103"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footcheck.yourfootpain.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/footcheck.yourfootpain.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7487"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"condition-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footcheck.yourfootpain.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/condition-category?post=7487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
