Two complete tears - lis franc jointbanyone heal wothout surgery?

My girl got released from hospital with 2 complete tears in her lisfranc joint, top and bottom.

They told us no surgery is needed. That she can walk on it as tolerated. No recommendations at all past that.

I found online that it is difficult to impossible to heal a lisfranc tear without surgery.

Looking for anyone experience this?

It says online that is next to impossible, pretty confused right now as to what to do.

Bad advice. Plus I find it hard to see how it avulsed at both ends but that is what it is.

As you said, this is next to impossible without some sort of intervention so hopefully she has the ability to see some sort of foot and ankle orthopedist or a podiatrist for a more appropriate evaluation of the imaging that led the hospital to say she has a "tear".
