Case Report: An Atypical Presentation of a Lisfranc Fracture

Abstract

Lisfranc fractures comprise only 0.2% of all fractures and are missed as much as 20% during initial presentations. When misdiagnosed and left untreated, Lisfranc fractures could lead to significant chronic pain and permanent disability. This case presentation illustrates how a Lisfranc injury was properly diagnosed in a 59-year-old male. A basic review of diagnosis and primary care management of Lisfranc injuries will also be presented.
