Traumatic Cuboid Dislocation. The Potential Role of Plantar Ligaments Integrity in Facilitating Reduction: A Case

11st Orthopaedic and Traumatologic Clinic, IRCCS Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli, Bologna, Italy.
Case:
A 56-year-old male patient sustained a traumatic cuboid medioplantar dislocation associated with a lateral cuneiform fracture. The patient was treated with open reduction and fixation using 2 temporary Kirschner wires. During surgery, the plantar ligament apparatus was found to be almost intact and the reduction was easily performed. At the last follow-up visit, the patient's functional outcomes were excellent.
Conclusions:
Traumatic cuboid medioplantar dislocation associated with lateral cuneiform fracture usually requires surgical treatment. The authors conclude the integrity of the plantar ligament apparatus may play a role in facilitating the reduction.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
