Lisfranc Fracture Dislocation

Global Radiology CME

With over 20% of Lisfranc fractures missed upon presentation, it is important to diagnose these injuries promptly, as lack of diagnosis could lead to future foot deformities, midfoot arthritis, pain, chronic instability, and disability [1,5]. She is now pursuing a career in Diagnostic Radiology with interests in Breast imaging.

Lens Subluxation

Global Radiology CME

Patients with ectopia lentis typically present with visual acuity problems but can also present with eye pain if secondary to trauma [2]. Computed tomography is also an alternative method for lens subluxation which again can show deviation of the lens (Figs. Acta Med Port. 2020;33(10):692. doi: 10.20344/amp.12418

Ruptured Globe

Global Radiology CME

1 Imaging: Computed tomography (CT) is the recommended imaging modality for evaluating orbital trauma. Thin-section axial CT scans followed by multiplanar reformations can visualize ruptured globe contour, which can present as a “mushroom” (Figs. 1-2) or “flat tire” shape. 7 Prognosis: Ruptured globes maintain a poor prognosis.
