Inclusion criteria were either professional dancers or high-level (Division I College) athletes who had been diagnosed with Lisfranc injury by way of complaints isolated to directly over the Lisfranc space and had failed conservative management after sustaining a midfoot sprain; specifically, direct point tenderness over the Lisfranc space on clinical exam, either at the first or second
tarsometatarsal joint, and either minimum of 2 mm diastasis on weightbearing plain film or suggestive signal changes on MRI, with no signal changes at the base of the second metatarsal as would be more suggestive of stress fracture.
The Lisfranc fracture-dislocation is an uncommon pedal injury involving the base first and second
