Management of a Displaced, Osteoporotic Cuboid Fracture: A Case Report.

Cuboid fractures are relatively rare injuries to the midfoot that commonly occur simultaneously with additional fractures and disruptions to different articular surfaces. Due to the cuboid's large articular surface and contribution to the maintenance of lateral column stability, treatment of cuboid fractures can be difficult and manifest with a variety of post-operative complications. Although simple cuboid fractures can be managed conservatively, at this time, there is no standard operative approach for displaced cuboid fractures. Furthermore, the management of these fractures can be further complicated by poor bone quality, making them unamenable to traditional open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and plate fixation. This case report outlines the diagnosis and surgical management of a closed cuboid fracture-dislocation in a 43-year-old female patient with osteoporosis.
