Lisfranc Fracture, An Orthopedic Surgeon's Experience

Lisfranc injuries can be utterly devastating.  They will need to be treated and taken care of for a relatively pretty long time. Doctor Mason, first tells you how to correctly pronounce "Lisfranc" in his French accent.  He then go's on further to tell the story of how a Napoleon-led attach with the French Army into Russia during winter led to the discovery of Lisfranc Fracture and Ligament Tears. You learn that Lisfranc worked for Napoleon's army and discovered, by working on all the poor, cold soldiers feet, a ligament that went inside the bones of the ankle and feet.  Because of his anatomical discoveries it is named the Lisfranc joint and ligament. Doctor Mason discusses surgical options that could get you back into your game.  Listen to Doctor Mason's radio segment titled Ask The Surgeon that was recorded on Fox Sports AM1380's Health Matters show hosted by Maury Eskenazi and Shannon O'Kelley.
