⚠️ Persistent Midfoot Pain After Injury? It Could Be a Lisfranc Fracture
If you have sustained a foot injury in a road accident, sports activity, or due to a fall and your pain is not improving, you may have a Lisfranc injury — a commonly missed midfoot fracture.
Many patients in Ahmedabad, Rajkot, and Surat are initially treated for a “simple sprain,” but untreated Lisfranc injuries can lead to long-term deformity and arthritis.
Early consultation with a Foot & Ankle Specialist in Gujarat is critical.
🧠 What is a Lisfranc Injury?
The Lisfranc joint complex connects the midfoot bones and maintains the arch of the foot. Injury to this area can involve:
- Bone fractures
- Ligament tears
- Joint displacement
Even a small misalignment can cause significant long-term problems.
🔎 Common Causes in Gujarat
- Road traffic accidents (common in urban areas like Ahmedabad & Surat)
- Sports injuries (cricket, football, gym injuries)
- Twisting injuries while walking on uneven surfaces
- Industrial accidents
🚨 Symptoms You Should Not Ignore
- Swelling in the middle of the foot
- Bruising on the sole (important warning sign)
- Pain while standing or walking
- Inability to bear weight
- Feeling of instability
If pain persists beyond a few days after injury, advanced evaluation is necessary.
🩺 Advanced Diagnosis Available
Dr. Ankit Kamothi uses:
✔ Weight-bearing X-rays
✔ CT Scan for fracture mapping
✔ MRI for ligament injury detection
Many Lisfranc injuries are visible only on standing X-rays, which is why specialist evaluation matters.
