Bone Scintigraphy Findings in Lisfranc Joint Injury

Abstract

Three-phase bone scintigraphy diagnosis of Lisfranc injury in a patient after foot trauma is discussed. Early diagnosis of Lisfranc joint injury is frequently missed and radionuclide bone scintigraphy may show a specific pattern where the x-rays are inconclusive.
