The clinical term lisfranc usually refers to lisfranc injury, a fracture dislocation between the metatarsal and tarsal bones of the foot, i.e. metatarsophalangeal joint fracture.
Causes of metatarsophalangeal joint fractures include traffic accidents, falls from height, etc. These injuries are generally more serious, with fractures and dislocations dominating, and the stability of the metatarsophalangeal joint is mostly or even completely lost.
Clinical manifestations are obvious, including foot deformity, severe pain, swelling, and limitation of weight bearing. Open injuries are often accompanied by skin and subcutaneous soft tissue injuries and consequently neurovascular injuries. The diagnosis can be confirmed with medical history and imaging tests such as X-ray and CT, and can be treated with cast immobilization or surgical internal fixation under the supervision of a doctor.
Metatarsophalangeal joint fracture, if there is a missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis, will lead to progressive deformity, joint instability, joint vascular injury, and ultimately lead to long-term joint deformity, which will affect the normal life, and it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, and standardize the treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
