A cuboid fracture is a fracture of the cuboid bone of the foot. Diagnosis is by X-ray imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, or bone scan.^[1] Treatment may be conservative or involve surgery, depending on the type of fracture.^[1] They are rare.^[1]

If the cuboid bone is broken, then it is common for other bones in the foot to be broken or dislocated as well.^[2] Cuboid fractures are associated with Lisfranc injuries.^[2]
