Long-term Functional Outcome and Satisfaction After Surgical Management of Cuboid Fractures.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cuboid fractures are rare, and there is a scarcity in evidence of the long-term functional outcome of these fractures in literature. This study aimed to evaluate functional outcome, complications, quality of life, and patient satisfaction after surgical treatment of cuboid fractures.

Methods

This retrospective study was conducted at a level 1 trauma center, reviewing patients ≥16 years with cuboid fractures operated between 2014 and 2024. Functional outcome was assessed using the Foot Function Index (FFI), the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) midfoot score, and EQ-5D quality of life questionnaire. Complications such as nonunion, infection, and secondary arthrodesis were recorded.

Results

The total cohort of surgically managed patients was 4
