Concomitant lisfranc injuries in the setting of ankle fractures: A case series

Lisfranc injuries are rare and commonly misdiagnosed, which can lead to severe complications. This paper presents patients with concomitant Lisfranc injuries and ankle fractures. We report 3 cases. Case 1 is a 14-year-old girl with trimalleolar fractures and Lisfranc dislocation who achieved a full recovery. Case 2 is a 55-year-old woman with complex Lisfranc and ankle fractures, where delayed intervention resulted in persistent instability and pain. Case 3 is a 62-year-old woman with a previously missed Lisfranc injury with an ankle fracture that was fixed with full recovery after correct diagnosis. The purpose of this study is to illustrate the necessity of monitoring for Lisfranc injuries in the setting of ankle fractures to prevent misdiagnosis and long-term complications.
