Lisfranc’s dislocation and fracture in the Charcot Foot

Abstract

Diabetic patients may present with Lisfranc’s Fracture Dislocation which may be confused with osteomyelitis. Rapid diagnosis and early intervention can prevent deformity. We suggest that the diagnosis of Charcot’s foot should be considered in any diabetic patient with unilateral swelling of lower extremity and/or foot.
