Traumatic injuries of the foot and ankle are frequent and constitute a true public health problem with over 6000 daily cases in France. The complex anatomy of this area and its association to other injuries in polytraumatized patients can lead to delayed diagnosis with worsened functional prognosis. Accurate diagnosis relies on good knowledge of osseous and ligamentous lesions and their associations and sometimes requires the use of additional imaging techniques including US and CT.

JBJS Case Connect
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Nemours Children's Health, Wilmington, Delaware.
Case: A 14-year-old adolescent girl sustained a Lisfranc fracture-dislocation with an interposed extensor hallucis brevis (EHB) tendon. Following multiple failed attempts at closed reduction in both the emergency department and the operating room, the patient was treated in a staged manner with temporizing closed reduction and percutaneous pinning in improved alignment, followed by definitive open reduction and internal fixation once soft tissues allowed.
Conclusions: Anatomic reduction and stable fixation of Lisfranc injuries is vital to regain stability and reduce the risk of midfoot arthritis and collapse.
