The lisfranc ligament is a ligament which connects the base of the medial cuneiform to the base of the 2nd metatarsal. In 20% of people there are two bands of this ligament (dorsal and plantar). It is injured or disrupted in the lisfranc fracture.
[edit] Eponym
The ligament and the fracture are named after the Napoleonic army surgeon, Jacques Lisfranc de St. Martin.[1]
