Kuboid's syndrome or sublimation of kuboid describes a condition resulting from a fine injury to the kalkananeocuboid joint and ligaments around the cuboid bone, one of the seven tarsal bones of the human foot.

This condition often manifests in the form of lateral leg pain (small toe side) and sometimes general leg weakness. The cuboid syndrome, which is relatively common but not well defined or known, is known by many other names, including "lateral plantar neuritis, cuboid disorder syndrome, peroneal cube syndrome, cube-shaped, locked cubes and subluxed cubes.

Signs and symptoms

A patient with cuboid syndrome usually seeks medical advice and attention that complains of pain, discomfort, or weakness along the lateral aspect of the foot between the fourth and fifth metatarsals and the calcaneocuboid joint. The pain can spread throughout the legs. Tenderness may occur in the tendon of the peroneus longus and antalgic gait muscles can be observed. Pain can be observed in a controlled environment by standing on the toes or curling the foot arch, as this movement tends to train the legs and ligament of calcaneocuboid legs, which are typically tense in patients suffering from cuboid syndrome. Also, the pain may come suddenly or may develop gradually and persist over time. Sometimes the pain is intermittent, subsided partially or completely for a period of time before returning again.

Cause

A patient can develop Cuboid syndrome either through a single traumatic event (eg, ankle sprain) or silently with repetitive strain over time. The exact etiology of Cuboid syndrome remains unclear but many ideas have been proposed. These ideas include excessive pronation of the feet, excessive injury, and ankle sprain inversion. The preferred idea is that the cuboid-shaped bone is forcibly removed while the calcaneus is inverted resulting in a mismatch in the calcaneocuboid joint. This condition primarily affects athletes, especially those whose activities are sufficiently pressing on their feet from jumping or running (like ballet dancers and runners) and those who place additional strain on their feet during lateral maneuvers (such as tennis and basketball players). Cuboid syndrome can persist even if the patient takes part in regular physical therapy. The patient's foot type, such as overproning or underpronation, can also play a factor in the condition.

Risk factors

Suspected risk factors for Cuboid syndrome include obesity, midtarsal instability, poorly fitting footwear, physical exercise, inadequate recovery from physical activity, physical training on uneven surfaces, and ankle sprains.

Treatment

Once diagnosed, a medical professional can treat cuboid syndrome by realigning (also known as reducing) subluxed cubes unless contraindicated for present manipulation such as gout, arthritis, bone disease, neurovascular compromise, or fractures. This form of foot manual manipulation should be performed by trained specialists, such as podiatrists, chiropractors, osteopaths, athletic trainers, osteopathic doctors, or physical therapists. Further treatment may take into consideration other considerations, such as possible causes or criminals (eg recommend that patients conform to custom orthotics if they are excessive). Fortunately, subluxed cubide is generally quite treatable and most patients return to normal activity levels after the pain is controlled.
