Lateral ankle sprain with cuboid syndrome in a secondary school student-athlete

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Background: Lateral ankle sprains (LAS) are one of the most common injuries in secondary school student-athletes. Cuboid syndrome (CS), a mild alteration to the arthrokinematics or congruency of the cuboid sometimes caused by improper or ill-fitting footwear, may be overlooked due to its similarities to LAS. Many secondary school student-athletes do not wear proper footwear for their foot size or type and may often be a secondary cause of CS after an inversion mechanism. Additionally, weakness or overuse of peroneus longus muscle is also thought to play a role in CS due to its insertion.
