Cuboid syndrome or cuboid subluxation describes a condition that results from subtle injury to the calcaneocuboid joint,[1] and ligaments in the vicinity of the cuboid bone, one of seven tarsal bones of the human foot.
This condition often manifests in the form of lateral (little toe side) foot pain and sometimes general foot weakness. Cuboid syndrome, which is relatively common but not well defined or recognized,[2] is known by many other names, including lateral plantar neuritis, cuboid fault syndrome, peroneal cuboid syndrome, dropped cuboid, locked cuboid and subluxed cuboid.[1][3]
