Abstract

Injuries to the tarsometatarsal joint and of the Lisfranc ligament present a challenge. They are difficult to diagnose and outcomes worsen as diagnosis is delayed. As a result, radiologists and clinicians must have a clear understanding of the relevant nomenclature, anatomy, injury mechanisms, and imaging findings.
