Lisfranc joint
Isolating the individual articulations of the lisfrancs joint is often most easily approached from the lateral surface of the foot. To identify the joint between the cuboid and the fifth metatarsal, place the index finger and thumb of one hand over the area marking the boundary between the anterior aspect of the cuboid and the base of the fifth metatarsal. Use your other hand to grasp the head and neck of the fifth metatarsal and move the bone in a repetitive dorsal and plantar motion. Movement should be felt at the articulation between the fifth metatarsal and the cuboid.
Repeating the same process transversely across the tarsometatarsal joint will allow you to successfully identify each individual articulation. Note that when you reach the articulation between the second metatarsal and the intermediate cuneiform, your index finger and thumb will need to move slightly posteriorly to account for the proximal position of the intermediate cuneiform and the second metatarsal base in relation to the other tarsometatarsal joints. Also note that the articulation between the first metatarsal and the medial cuneiform is more easily identifiable as you approach the joint from the medial aspect of the foot.
