Delayed reduction of a dislocation at Lisfranc's joint: a case report.
An unusual case report of a chronic lateral dislocation at Lisfranc's joint has been presented. Immediate reduction was not performed due to inadequate diagnosis. An involvement of a peripheral neuropathy further marked the patient's symptoms. A delayed surgical reduction and arthrodesis of the tarsometatarsal joints were performed. The degree of dislocation and concomitant osseous changes that occurred over a prolonged period of time prevented excellent alignment of part of the tarsometatarsal articulations. However, a functional and asymptomatic foot was restored.
