Lisfranc Injuries
Learn More from Our Philadelphia Personal Injury Lawyers
A Lisfranc injury affects the midfoot. Broken bones or damaged ligaments in this area can cause debilitating pain and mobility problems. Although Lisfranc injuries are sometimes mistaken for sprains, they cannot be ignored or “walked off.” These are severe injuries that may take months to heal, and in some cases surgery may be required.
Many Lisfranc injuries often occur as a result of a twist and fall, even with a low application of force. Football and soccer players are at a higher risk of suffering an injury to the midfoot, specifically, if they stumble or trip. Severe Lisfranc injuries are more likely to occur as a result of direct trauma to the foot, often with more force, such as in a fall from a height.

About Lisfranc Injuries
Named after Jacques Lisfranc de St. Martin, a surgeon who served in the French army under Napoleon in the 1800s, the Lisfranc joint complex includes both bones and ligaments that connect the front and middle of the foot. This cluster of small bones and ligaments is critical in stabilizing the arch of the foot. The midfoot actually transfers the force created by the calf muscle into the front of the foot, helping with the forward motion of walking.
When the bones or ligaments comprising the Lisfranc joint are damaged, this may cause the following symptoms:
- Pain and swelling at the top of the foot
- Bruising on the foot, both on the top and bottom
- Worsening pain upon standing or walking
Discoloration on the bottom of the foot is particularly indicative of a Lisfranc injury. If your foot is injured and standard sprain treatment of applying cold compresses, raising the foot, and resting do not alleviate pain and swelling, it is important to seek medical treatment from an orthopedic specialist.

"After been paralyzed from the neck down because of a drunk driver, Kevin Marciano was my last hope. Kevin fought very hard for me and kept me advised of every aspect of the case. Because of the settlement, I am living in a home that I purchased rather than in a nursing home. I have some of my life back."
- Client
"Kevin and Pat represented me in my fall off a ladder. The money I received will let me live in a place where I can move and get around. Also, while I am still badly injured, I know I will not have to worry about money again."
- Client
Kevin and Patrick were amazing to work with and a God send to us in our time of need. They especially had to work even harder during COVID-19 to make a safe way to put our troubles to a smooth and safe finish. They were caring and understanding to our personal situation in the health and well being of our son who was hit by a car. This recommendation was priceless. We are most fortunate that our son's life was spared, but their help to give him back his life will never be forgotten! Thank you Kevin and Patrick and the rest of your team!
