The Lisfranc joint is located in the midfoot and connects the metatarsals to the tarsus bones. It gets its name from a French surgeon who first described an amputation through this joint. Injuries to the Lisfranc joint are often caused by high-energy trauma that disrupts the normal alignment of the metatarsal bones. Proper diagnosis requires examination and weight-bearing x-rays to assess for displacement or instability. Treatment depends on the severity and stability of the injury, ranging from casting to surgical repair.
