Footnotes: My LisFranc Injury and the Road to Recovery

On 6/27/15, I sustained a significant fracture to my Lisfranc joint from a 10 foot fall during an obstacle course race. On 7/7/15, I had ORIF surgery to repair a commuted fracture to my navicular bone, fractures to my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd cunieforms, a fractured cuboid, and dislocations of 4 metatarsal bones. This blog is my experience. Hopefully it will help others who have suffered this horrific injury and inspire you to overcome life's obstacles.
