Foot Ankle Int. 2002 Sep;23(9):838-41. doi: 10.1177/107110070202300911.

Abstract

We present a 30-year-old woman with a complex foot injury including floating lesser metatarsals, an intact base of second metatarsal and an irreducible fifth metatarsophalangeal joint. The recognition of potential associated injuries together with a Lisfranc fracture-dislocation must not be overlooked.
