		The medial, situated in front of the middle calcaneal facet, is convex, triangular, or semi-oval in shape, and rests on the plantar calcaneonavicular ligament; the lateral, named the anterior calcaneal articular surface, is somewhat flattened, and articulates with the facet on the upper surface of the anterior part of the calcaneus.
		—The cuboid bone is placed on the lateral side of the foot, in front of the calcaneus, and behind the fourth and fifth metatarsal bones.
		The surface of bone behind the groove is rough, for the attachment of the plantar calcaneocuboid ligament, a few fibers of the Flexor hallucis brevis, and a fasciculus from the tendon of the Tibialis posterior.

	Cuboid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In anatomy, the cuboid bone is a bone in the foot.
		The square cuboid, square box or right square prism (also ambiguously called square prism) is a special case of the cuboid in which at least two faces are squares.
		Cuboid shapes are often used for boxes, cupboards, rooms, buildings, etc. Equal cuboids can fill space without holes; compared with oblique shapes the volume is fairly large in relation to the surface area.

		Lateral to the groove is a prominent tubercle, the posterior process to which the posterior talofibular ligament is attached; this process is sometimes separated from the rest of the talus, and is then known as the os trigonum Medial to the groove is a second smaller tubercle.
		The medial surface is broad, irregularly quadrilateral, and presents at its middle and upper part a smooth oval facet, for articulation with the third cuneiform; and behind this (occasionally) a smaller facet, for articulation with the navicular; it is rough in the rest of its extent, for the attachment of strong interosseous ligaments.
		Articulations—The cuboid articulates with four bones: the calcaneus, third cuneiform, and fourth and fifth metatarsals; occasionally with a fifth, the navicular.

	Re: Cuboid Fracture; fracture management. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		With broken bones, the primary obstacle to healing is excessive motion at the site which can disrupt the delicate 'osteoclast' cells which produce new bone.
		Since the cuboid bone articultes with the heel bone proximally, and with the bases of the 4th and the 5th metatarsal bones distally, as well as with the tendon of the peroneus longus on its inferior or underneath surface, it is essential that the joint/cartilaginous surfaces be properly aligned.
		A cuboid fracture might be difficult to visualize with any conventional x-ray view, so the x-ray tech might have to experiment as to what position offers the best visualization of the fracture line.

	How To Treat Cuboid Syndrome In The Athlete
		Cuboid syndrome is a common cause of lateral foot pain in the athletic population and is often misdiagnosed or mistreated.
		Be aware that diagnosing cuboid syndrome via radiographs, computerized axial tomography (CT) scans or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is difficult because of the normal variations that exist between the cuboid and its surrounding structures, and the minimal amount of subluxation that is usually present.
		The plantar displacement of the cuboid resulting in cuboid syndrome is most often reported in association with an inversion and plantarflexion stress of the ankle.

		When the cuboid subluxates downward, you may experience a dull ache along the central portion of the lateral border of the foot.
		The long calcaneocuboid ligament, extending from the heel to the cuboid, may become strained, mimicking heel spur pain along the bottom of the heel.
		Because the cuboid aids the function of the peroneal tendons by stabilizing the tendons as they pass under the foot, the subluxated cuboid may disturb normal peroneal muscle function.
