Abstract:
Isolated cuboid dislocation without fracture is a rare injury, and there is a lack of literature describing its treatment. Studies report the use of closed or open reduction, with Kirschner wire fixation in the treatment of these injuries. This case report presents the clinical condition of a 24-year-old male patient who arrived at the emergency department with an isolated dislocation of the right foot cuboid bone without the presence of a fracture, after suffering trauma during a football game. Open reduction was performed in the surgical center with stabilization and fixation using a Kirschner wires. The patient showed an excellent response to the treatment, with no loss of the foot's range of motion.
