Management of Lisfranc injury with anterolateral calcaneal compression fracture

To the Editor:The mechanism of Lisfranc injury is complex and may cause different patterns of fractures or dislocation of the midfoot complex.Abduction force injury is a special injury pattern,which may cause the fracture or(and)dislocation of the lateral column of the Lisfranc joint,especially the cuboid.[1,2,3]However,the anterolateral calcaneus is less commonly involved.Since the fragment of the calcaneocuboid(CC)joint facet is too uncon-spicuous to manifest on a plain X-ray,and surgeons always pay more attention to the Lisfranc joint,anterolateral calcaneal compression fracture and even Chopart joint injuries are often overlooked,which may lead to a delayed surgical management,chronic foot deformities,and functional disability.
