Homolateral Lisfranc fracture-dislocation with additional fractures distally in the second through fourth metatarsals and medial base of the first proximal phalanx.

Postoperative findings after open treatment of tarsometatarsal joint dislocation including internal fixation. 5 joints were reduced, 4 joints fixed, the second joint with a 4 hole 2.7 plate and screws, and the first, fifth, and fourth joints with 2.0 K wires. Also, closed treatment of second, third, and fourth metatarsal neck fractures was performed.
Case Discussion
Lisfranc fracture-dislocations are important injuries to identify given their association with midfoot arch collapse and osteoarthritis. This case illustrates a type A homolateral Lisfranc injury that underwent open reduction and internal fixation.
