March 2, 2014Looking around the forums, the fracture of the LisFranc joint is an interesting problem. Lots of people are posting messages in forums asking for help and advice for their fracture. I not sure that this is necessarily a good thing to get medical advice online in forums, but the numbers of people asking for advice was what I found surprising. The LisFranc joint is the joint between the tarsus and metatarsus bones across the midfoot. It is named after the French surgeon, Jacques Lisfranc de St. Martin, who first described the injury during the War of the Sixth Coalition. The injury usually happen when a large weight, such has the foot being driven over by a car, occur. As a results there is often multiple fractures and dislocations that occur. This also means that most cases are not the same and the management of them is complex, hence so many people asking for advice online.
