title: Lisfranc injury and Jones fracture in sports.
abstract: This article provides an update and overview of Lisfranc injury and Jones fracture in the athletic population. Sports-related Lisfranc sprains or fractures are subtle injuries that can be easily missed. Now, there is greater understanding of midfoot sprains that represent a spectrum of injury to the Lisfranc ligament complex. Most types of fifth metatarsal fractures have a favorable prognosis and can be treated conservatively. The treatment options for Jones fractures in athletes have been much debated. This article discusses issues related to anatomy, mechanism of injury, clinical presentation, imaging, and diagnosis, which are necessary to appropriately treat these injuries.
