title: Lisfranc fracture dislocations--an important and easily missed fracture in the emergency department.
abstract: Two case reports are presented of Lisfranc fractures. There have been many incidents of missed injury in the past and the radiographs are reproduced here together with the important radiographic features. Early diagnosis and orthopaedic referral are necessary because operative treatment is often required.
