Abstract

The cuboid bone stabilizes the lateral column of the foot. It articulates with the midtarsal and tarsometatarsal joints and this anatomically proportionates marked stability to the cuboid. Isolated dislocations of the cuboid a rare ocurrence. The authors present a rare case of an isolated traumatic dislocation of the cuboid bone without fracture and present a short review of the pertinent literature.
