If you’d like to know about my own injury,
here’s a link to the inside scoop
:) But my daily A-Z posts
are more general and informative, just so, if the time comes, you know what
someone is going through because, trust me, it’s not ‘just a broken foot!’
Just a quick one today, cos I forgot LOL! Here's the ligament ........
"The midfoot is the middle region of the foot, where a cluster of small bones forms
an arch on the top of the foot. From this cluster, five long bones (metatarsals) extend
to the toes. The bones are held in place by connective tissues (ligaments) that stretch
both across and down the foot. However, there is no connective tissue holding the
first metatarsal to the second metatarsal. A twisting fall can break or shift (dislocate)
these bones out of place. The midfoot is critical in stabilizing the arch and in walking (gait). During walking,
the midfoot transfers the forces generated by the calf muscles to the front of the
foot.
The Lisfranc joint complex has a specialized bony and ligamentous structure, providing
stability to this joint."
