Abstract

Traumatisms at the level of the lower extremities can have different treatment edges, which can be conservative versus surgical, depending on the degree of bone injury. The case of a 39-year-old patient with trauma to the left foot with a plantar hyperflexion mechanism with added axial load is presented, which causes intense pain and inability to walk, with radiographic evidence of severe injury to the tarsometatarsal joint, cataloging as a Lisfranc lesion, a pathology that represents less than 1% of all bone lesions, characterized by low-energy traumas where indirect forces act that lead to serious injuries, which can cause severe anatomical and functional damage to the patient's foot.
