What is the mechanism of injury in Lisfranc's injury?

These injuries are named after the surgeon in Napoleon's cavalry who originally described them. At that time, the most common mechanism of injury was getting a foot caught in a stirrup. Now, Lisfranc's injuries are most often seen in patients with high-energy trauma as a result of an MVC. They are also seen in mountain bikers who get their feet caught in the pedal clips.
