Management of Lisfranc's fracture-dislocation

Abstract

Lisfranc's joint injuries are rare and complex. A car driver who sustained a traffic accident, was admitted because of partial dorsolateral fracture-dislocation of the Lisfranc's joint. The diagnosis was made by physical examination and radiographs. Reduction and pin fixation were performed under general anesthesia. At the end of the ninth month, range of motion of the foot and ankle was full, with no pain on daily activities.
