Lisfranc joint complex
The Lisfranc joint complex refers to a group of joints in the midfoot that connect the bones of the foot to the toes. It consists of the tarsometatarsal joints, where the metatarsal bones meet the tarsal bones. This complex plays a crucial role in maintaining the foot's stability and facilitating movement during walking and running.
Injuries to the Lisfranc joint complex can occur due to trauma, such as a fall or a sports-related incident. These injuries can lead to pain, swelling, and difficulty in walking. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent long-term complications and ensure optimal recovery.
