Comments on: Lisfranc’s Injury http://www.northcoastfootcare.com/blog/archives/2007/11/29/lisfrancs-injury/ A Podiatrist's Blog on Foot Health & Foot Care Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:32:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Laura Sellers http://www.northcoastfootcare.com/blog/archives/2007/11/29/lisfrancs-injury/#comment-237 Laura Sellers Tue, 26 Aug 2008 18:43:54 +0000 http://www.northcoastfootcare.com/blog/archives/2007/11/29/lisfrancs-injury/#comment-237 I think I may have one of these fractures. It started with a "freak" accident of dropping a board on top of my foot over a year ago. I wore a surgical boot several months to help the injury, a hairline fracture, heal. About 3 months ago, I noticed a bony bump on the bottom/right side of my right foot. I went back to the podiatrist/surgeon who had done plantar fasciotomy on that foot and the other foot, as well, and had x-rays & MRI done. He said it looked like a dislocated bone and referred me to another orthopedic doctor. I go to him tomorrow. Since it is so unusual and atypical of the places in the foot to have this kind of injury, I am wondering if this might be a Lisfranc injury. Fortunately, I have not had any major pain, which the podiatrist thought unusual, also. After reading up on this, and if it turns out to be the diagnosis, I wonder what the treatment will be. The podiatrist thought the bone could be shaved, but he thought it would be a shame to have to do that to a perfectly good bone. I will try to update on my new doctor's findings.

The way it's described, it's amazing that anyone could actually ever recover from this. The human body is pretty amazing... as well as the accompanying surgery and treatment.
