Purpose:
Lisfranc injuries are bony and ligamentous disruptions of the tarsometatarsal joint complex associated with significant morbidity, and several aspects of their management remain controversial. To our knowledge, no citation analysis dedicated to Lisfranc injuries has been published.
Methods:
The Web of Science Core Collection was searched on May 1, 2026. After document-type and language filters, articles were sorted by citation count, and two reviewers screened the top 100 records to identify the 50 most-cited articles primarily focused on Lisfranc injuries.
Results:
The 50 articles accumulated 4911 citations (mean 98.2 ± 51.5; range 49-274) and were published between 1973 and 2020. Foot & Ankle International was the most prolific journal (28%), and the United States contributed 64% of articles. Eighty percent were Level IV-V evidence; only 6% were Level I-II.
Conclusion:
Higher-quality comparative trials are needed to address persistent controversies, particularly regarding optimal surgical management.
Level Of Evidence:
Level V (bibliometric analysis).

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
