Activity Description

Lisfranc injuries describe a broad spectrum of foot injuries involving the Lisfranc (tarsometatarsal) joint complex. Injuries to this area include sprain, subluxation, joint widening with or without a fracture, dislocation, and crush injury. The condition varies in severity and typically results from trauma, such as from sports activities, falls, and motor vehicular crashes. Lisfranc joint injuries are uncommon and often misdiagnosed and mismanaged. Up to 20% of the cases are missed initially.

Early recognition and intervention are essential as Lisfranc injuries may produce midfoot arthritis, chronic pain, and functional foot instability as complications. This activity describes the pathophysiology, evaluation, and management of Lisfranc joint injuries and highlights the interprofessional team's role in caring for affected patients.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Identify signs and symptoms indicative of Lisfranc dislocations in foot injuries, distinguishing them from other midfoot pathologies.s.

  • Differentiate between various grades and types of Lisfranc injuries, categorizing them based on severity and associated complications.

  • Implement timely and tailored treatment plans for Lisfranc injuries, considering conservative and surgical approaches.
