A Lisfranc injury occurs when there is a sprain, fracture, or dislocation in the midfoot area. This complex injury affects the joints and ligaments that connect the metatarsal bones to the tarsal bones in the foot. Lisfranc injuries can result from traumatic events such as falls, sports injuries, or accidents, and they require immediate medical attention to prevent long-term complications.
Swelling and bruising on the top of the foot
Pain that worsens with standing, walking, or bearing weight
Difficulty or inability to move or wiggle the toes
Instability or an abnormal widening of the foot
Arch pain or a feeling of pressure on the midfoot area
