- The study compared the effectiveness of X-ray, CT, and MRI in diagnosing subtle Lisfranc injuries and three anatomical subtypes over a period from September 2013 to March 2022.
- Out of 31 patients, MRI was the most accurate with a 96.8% diagnosis rate, followed by CT at 87.1%, and X-ray with only 48.4%.
- While CT excelled in identifying first-ray injuries, MRI performed better for second and cuneiform-ray injuries, indicating X-ray's poor accuracy for subtle Lisfranc injuries overall.
