Lisfranc's or tarsometatarsal fracture-dislocation.
Lisfranc's injuries are one of the most commonly missed fractures in a multitrauma patient. Failure to recognize and treat such an injury can lead to acute (e.g., compartment syndrome of the foot) and chronic problems (e.g., arthritis). A list of reminders is included to help with the recognition and treatment of Lisfranc's injuries (Table 1).
