Subluxations or dislocations of the cuboid are rare and usually reduce
spontaneously1-5. The cuboid is
strongly supported by ligamentous attachments. Proximally, it is
tethered to the calcaneus dorsally by the calcaneocuboid and bifurcate
ligaments and it is tethered plantarly by the stout long and short
plantar ligaments. Medially, it is attached to both the third cuneiform
and the navicular by the dorsal, plantar, and interosseous ligaments.
Distally, it is attached to the fourth and fifth metatarsal bases
by the dorsal ligaments and the long plantar ligament, and it is
further stabilized by tendon fibers of the peroneus tertius, the peroneus
brevis, the flexor digitorum brevis muscle to the fifth toe, the
tibialis posterior tendon, and the peroneus longus6. The peroneus longus tendon courses
along the lateral border of the calcaneus and the cuboid before
sharply entering the oblique plantar tunnel to insert on the lateral
tubercle of the first metatarsal base.
