Cuboid Syndrome
Cuboid syndrome occurs when the peroneus longus applies excess traction onto the cuboid bone causing it to sublux (partially dislocate). The injury is often associated with peroneal tendinopathy.
Symptoms of cuboid syndrome
- Pain when weight bearing on the outside of the foot.
- This may follow an ankle inversion sprain.
- Many patients with this condition will significantly overpronate (feet roll in or flatten)
Treatment of cuboid syndrome
- The cuboid bone is physically manipulated back into position.
- If peroneal tendinitis is a contributing factor then this will need to be treated.
