Cuboid Stress Fractures: A Report of Two Cases

Abstract

Stress fractures of the tarsal cuboid are rare. The literature contains three reported cases. This report presents two additional cases. These two occurred in collegiate athletes, and mimicked peroneal tendonitis on presentation. History, physical examination, plain radiographs, and bone scan were used for diagnosis. Treatment consisted of immobilization and activity modification, with complete resolution of symptoms in both cases.
