You may be thinking of the Lisfranc Fracture, actually named by one of Napoleon's surgeons, Jacques Lisfranc de St. Martin.
The fracture usually happened when a cavalry man was unhorsed but caught his foot in the stirrup. It basically is caused when excessive pressure is placed down through the heel when the foot is arched, and thus the weight is on the ball or toes of the foot causing the cluster of small bones above the metatarsals to buckle and dislocate or fracture. This injury commonly happens today if one unwittingly steps into a hole with violence or in sports where one's heel is stepped on while the foot is cocked to spring forward, as in running.
