Multiple metatarsal fractures after crush injury

Multiple metatarsal fractures after crush injury
Multiple distal metatarsal shaft fractures are evident in this patient who suffered a severe crush injury (arrows). There is widening of the space between the first and second metatarsal. This is usually caused by a tarsometatarsal fracture dislocation (Lisfranc injury), but in this case, it is due to fracture of the cuneiform (arrowhead).
