LizFrancs Injury
Lisfranc injury, also known as Lisfranc fracture, is an injury of the foot in which one or more of the metatarsal bones are displaced from the tarsus
The injury is named after Jacques Lisfranc de St. Martin (2 April 1790–13 May 1847), a French surgeon and gynaecologist who described the injury in 1815, after the War of the Sixth Coalition Causes
In humans, the midfoot consists of five bones that form the arches of the foot (the cuboid, navicular, and three cuneiform bones) and their articulations with the bases of the five metatarsal bones
Lisfranc injuries are caused when excessive kinetic energy is applied either directly or indirectly to the midfoot and are often seen in traffic collisions or industrial accidents
Compound Fractue
Tibia – the shin bone, the larger of the two leg bones located below the knee cap Fibula – the smaller of the two leg bones located below the knee cap)
Both of these bones were severely broken and ripped through the covering muscle protruding through the skin
