title: Displaced fractures of the cuboid.
abstract: We report four cases of fracture of the cuboid treated by open reduction, bone grafting where necessary and internal fixation. We recommend this treatment where there is appreciable displacement of one or more of the articular surfaces. The preliminary results were better than those previously reported for conservative treatment or for later midtarsal fusion.
