Abstract
American bull riding is one of the most dangerous sports in the world, with a high prevalence of injury. Due to the high-velocity trauma that is common in this sport, injuries occur frequently and are often classified as severe despite the use of protective equipment. While Lisfranc fracture-dislocations are somewhat common in elite athletes, open Lisfranc fractures are much less common. Consequently, there are little data concerning recovery and return to sport. This case demonstrates an uncommon presentation of open Lisfranc fracture dislocation and first metatarsophalangeal dislocation in a professional bull rider who was able to return to sport at 18 months postoperatively.
