The Cuboid Syndrome
Tenderness on the lateral side associated with the feet are far from frequent, but any time it can happen the frequent cause associated with it is a disorder described as cuboid syndrome. The cuboid is a compact bone, about 50 % of the way down the exterior involving the feet. The function associated with the cuboid bone is always to behave as a pulley regarding those tendons which travels down the outside of the ankle called the peroneus longus tendon. As the bone behaves as a lever, it must be very stable any time the muscle acts, In the event that it is not really steady, then the actual bone will probably shift and stress the important joints surrounding that. This is exactly what leads to the subluxed cuboid.
