Intro to scanning the dorsal lisfranc ligament - this is a key ligament of the whole lisfranc joint complex. It anchors the medial cuneiform (C1) to the 2nd MT base to help stabilize the medial arch of the foot. Injury identified here should prompt MR assessment of the interosseous and plantar components.
The dorsal component is the thinnest and easiest to injure - sonographers must beware! Delay diagnosing this injury can delay surgery needed in some cases to restore medial foot stability.
