Anatomical terminology

The Lisfranc ligament is one of several ligaments which connects the medial cuneiform bone to the second metatarsal. Sometimes, the term Lisfranc ligament refers specifically to the ligament that connects the superior, lateral surface of the medial cuneiform to the superior, medial surface of the base of the second metatarsal.

Lisfranc fracture, with an increased distance between the medial cuneiform and the second metatarsal.

The Lisfranc ligament connects the medial cuneiform bone to the second metatarsal. [2] It is a complex of 3 ligaments: the dorsal Lisfranc ligament, the interosseous Lisfranc ligament, and the plantar Lisfranc ligament. [2] [3]

Variation

In 20% of people, there are two bands of each component of the ligament, usually of the dorsal Lisfranc ligament or the plantar Lisfranc ligament.[ citation needed ]

Function

The Lisfranc ligament maintains proper alignment between the metatarsal bones and the tarsal bones. [3] It acts as a shock absorber during the weight bearing phase of the bipedal gait cycle. [3] It also compensates for the lack of an intermetatarsal ligament between the first metatarsal bone and the second metatarsal bone. [3]

Clinical significance

The Lisfranc ligament is injured or disrupted in the Lisfranc fracture. Trauma to the midfoot is caused by direct and indirect impact forces. Direct force involves an object landing on the surface on the foot. Indirect force involves twisting of the foot, usually an impact to the heel while the foot is pointed down toward the ground. [4] A mild form of this injury results in a widening of the gap between the first and second metatarsals. An extreme form of the a Lisfranc fracture causes a complete dislocation of the metatarsals from the tarsal bones. When the alignment of the midfoot is affected joint cartilage is quickly damaged. [5]

History

Eponym

The ligament and the fracture are named after the Napoleonic army surgeon, Jacques Lisfranc de St. Martin. [6]

The foot is an anatomical structure found in many vertebrates. It is the terminal portion of a limb which bears weight and allows locomotion. In many animals with feet, the foot is a separate organ at the terminal part of the leg made up of one or more segments or bones, generally including claws and/or nails.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Metatarsal bones</span> Five long bones in the foot

The metatarsal bones or metatarsus are a group of five long bones in the midfoot, located between the tarsal bones and the phalanges (toes). Lacking individual names, the metatarsal bones are numbered from the medial side : the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth metatarsal. The metatarsals are analogous to the metacarpal bones of the hand. The lengths of the metatarsal bones in humans are, in descending order, second, third, fourth, fifth, and first. A bovine hind leg has two metatarsals.

On 23 September 2024, Israel began a series of airstrikes in Lebanon as part of the ongoing Israel–Hezbollah conflict with an operation it code-named Northern Arrows. Since then, Israel's attacks have killed over 800 people, injured more than 5,000, and displaced hundreds of thousands of Lebanese civilians. The attacks are the deadliest in Lebanon since the end of the Lebanese Civil War, and began five days after Israel performed a deadly pager and walkie-talkie attack on devices intended for Hezbollah members, and three days after Israel performed an airstrike on an apartment complex in Beirut which killed Redwan Force commander Ibrahim Aqil as well as 54 others.
