Objetives: To quantify the presence of pain and to determine loss of quality of life after a Lisfranc fracture-dislocation. Material and methods: We conducted a cross-sectional cohort study in 83 patients diagnosed with Lisfranc fracture-dislocation. The presence of pain at rest and during activity was assessed by means of a visual analogy scale (VAS) and the quality of life questionnaire Espiditest. Results: Patients in the study have a mean age of 38,36 years. The study results are not skewed by sex or gender of participants. No association whatsoever was found between the quality of life - according to the Espiditest - and the type of treatment being used, neither the early surgerynor the length of it. Patients with poorer quality of life - as shown in Espiditest - have a higher consumption of analgesics used for pain relief and more difficulty returning to their job or work activity prior to the injury. The degree of satisfaction by patients was consistent with the quality of their life. Conclusions: The Lisfranc fracture-dislocation, despite being a disabling injury, does not limit the quality of life because of pain.
