Best Practice Case Studies-Lisfranc Injury

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The transcript discusses diagnosing Lisfranc injuries in the foot, focusing on radiographic and MRI imaging techniques. Key indicators include joint subluxation, fractures, and ligament damage. The speaker highlights examining metatarsals alignment via weight-bearing and stress views, as well as the potential for false negatives. Advanced imaging, like CT and MRI, aids in detecting subtle injuries and planning treatment. MRI particularly assesses ligament integrity, with the dorsal, interosseous (Lisfranc proper), and plantar ligaments analyzed. Cases of 14 and 28-year-old patients illustrate varied diagnostic challenges, highlighting the importance of detailed imaging.
