Lisfranc Injury

A Lisfranc injury involves damage to the bones and ligaments in the midfoot, particularly at the junction where the metatarsal bones connect to the tarsal bones. This type of injury often occurs from a sudden impact or twisting motion, such as during sports or accidents. Symptoms can include severe pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty walking. Because it can lead to long-term complications if not treated properly, it’s important to seek medical attention if a Lisfranc injury is suspected. Treatment may involve rest, immobilization, or surgery, depending on the severity of the injury.
