All Lisfranc injuries will involve the second tarsometatarsal joint. Ligamentous Lisfranc injuries are difficult to be found by X-ray because of its unique anatomic location and natural morphology, which leads to the failure diagnosis [14]. This sign is reportedly present in 90% of Lisfranc ligament injuries. They may also be confused with other, more common musculoskeletal issues. 2004;183 (3): 615-22. We retrospectively analyzed 11 cases with purely ligamentous Lisfranc injuries treated with the Tightrope system from 2016 to 2019, including 8 male and 3 female. Variable clinical presentations and radiographic findings make injuries to the Lisfranc ligament notoriously difficult to diagnose. Skeletal Radiol. National Library of Medicine Lisfranc injuries, also called Lisfranc fracture-dislocations, are the most common type of dislocation involving the foot and correspond to the dislocation of the articulation of the tarsus with the metatarsal bases. 2012 Jun. The x-ray initially penetrates the lateral margin of the forefoot. Bone tenaculum was placed on the medial surface of the medial cuneiform bone and the lateral surface of the second metatarsal base to assist reduction. Miyamoto W, Takao M, Innami K, Miki S, Matsushita T. Ligament reconstruction with single bone tunnel technique for chronic symptomatic subtle injury of the Lisfranc joint in athletes.

The tarsometatarsal, or Lisfranc, joint complex provides stability to the midfoot and forefoot through intricate osseous relationships between the distal tarsal bones and metatarsal bases and their connections with stabilizing ligamentous support structures. This technique also lends itself to being used in a dynamic fashion that might help make the diagnosis in patients with subtle injuries. Lundeen G, Sara S. Technique tip: the use of a washer and suture endobutton in revision lisfranc fixation. Although conventional radiography can usually demonstrate these complications' features, CT is the better technique for delineating their details. The weight-bearing medial oblique viewof the foot is a specialized projection that places the foot under normal weight-bearing conditions. Multiple findings consistent with Lisfranc injury. Less severe sprains that do not result in midfoot instability or boney displacement are typically treated conservatively, while injuries that do frequently need surgical correction.
