Abstract
Lisfranc injuries result if bones or ligaments that support the midfoot are torn. In children and adolescents these injuries are not only rare, but are also similar to adult Lisfranc injuries, in that they are often mistaken especially if the injury is a result of a straightforward twist and fall. The goal of surgical treatment is to realign the joints. However, few studies related to Lisfranc injuries in pediatric patients exist. A case of 15 years old patient treated using an Arthrex mini tight rope is described.Entities:
