Tega Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Is a Lisfranc sprain something that an athlete quickly rebounds from or is it an injury that typically haunts a player throughout his career (once he has it)?

Thanks in advance for any info. Courtney Brown and Chad Lewis have had one. For larger players it is worse, but does linger from what I know.

Big John Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Courtney Brown and Chad Lewis have had one. For larger players it is worse, but does linger from what I know. Agree. Caddy had it and it healed faster, But a lot longer for a OL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for any info. the talk here in philly was that he wasn't hurt THAT bad....he was just held out for precautionary measures.... and there has been no talk of concern over this injury for him...other than him getting tips from Tiki and his trainer on how to stay healthy and change his workout habits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawks21 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 (edited) Thanks for the info gang! Much appreciated! After doing some research on Lisfranc sprains, I really think I'm going to try and trade him before my draft. Ehhhh, man thats hard, I dunno if I can pull it off. He's my favorite player to watch in the NFL now that Deion and Fred Taylor are done or diminished. I dunno, it is just a sprain though not a fracture.

ROYALWITCHEESE Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Agree. Caddy had it and it healed faster, But a lot longer for a OL. Caddy never had a Lisfranc. And it doesn't heal fast. Staley had it when he was an Eagle and has never been the same.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fogg Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 A "Lisfranc" is not a sprain. It is a dislocation and fracture at the tarsometatarsal joint (midfoot). You get a dorsal "upward" dislocation of the metatarsal bases typically with a fracture of the base of the second metatarsal. According to "Essentials in Skeletal Radiology" it was named after a surgeon in Napoleon's Army, "...not for his description of the injury, but because of his method of amputation...". Like any fracture the bone will be healed in about 8 weeks. The dislocation is the more pressing issue. Given enough time and no setbacks during rehab a patient should do just fine. I'm not aware of recurrence rates, but if I come upon any I'll post them. Someone earlier asked what a Jones' fracture was. It's essentially a fracture of the base of the 5th metatarsal (outside edge of midfoot) due to a strong pull by the peroneus brevis tendon when the foot is inverted and planted.
