Your diagnosis? Midfoot sprain: Lisfranc ligament disruption

Orthopedics. 2005 Jan;28(1):2, 75-7. doi: 10.3928/0147-7447-20050101-01.

Abstract

Suspected midfoot sprains can be a challenge to evaluate when the initial weight-bearing views are normal. In this case, MRI allowed prompt confirmation of the suspected unstable Lisfranc ligament injury and contributed to prompt management with rigid fixation.
