Member Ratings: 10 out of 10 stars (1 vote)

Lisfranc's Fracture Tarsometatarsal Injuries Wheeless

Location: http://www.wheelessonline.com/ortho/lisfrancs_fracture_tarsometatarsal_injuries

- dorsal capsule of Lisfranc's joint, lacking sufficient reinforcement, will fail to support the load and will collapse, resulting in dorsal fracture dislocation of the metatarsal bases;
