Lisfranc joint sprain-a rare one

[Pompal 09.]

My dear wife has a rare and painful injury. She rolled her foot out of a set of fashionable clogs-now in the trashcan. The ER doc misdiagnosed this as a grade 3 sprain. The DPM was not sure, ordered an MRI which showed swelling of the cuboid. He was reluctant to cast her foot and we finally went to an ortho doc who specializes in dance medicine. He hit it on the head- a sprain of the Lisfranc joint :shock: HUH?
Some quick internet research shows that this is a rare injury to the TMT-tarso/metatarsal joint. Usually happens to a horse rider when they're thrown off and one foot stays in the stirrup. So she's now in a cast for a month and we're looking a 6-10 weeks of rehab. Our PT friend has only seen one of these in 20 years.
Has anyone seen or treated this rare and painful injury?
Any thoughts would be welcomed.

LisFranc Fracture

I am not sure if this will help you now. But I actually helped treat someone with this fracture as well as with a chiro.. The client initially came to our office due to the chiro being a ART provider.. that is active release techinique. I as well do ART.. try and find someone in your area that does this technique. The results are amazing. Hope this helps
