title: Total extrusion of the cuboid: a case report.
abstract: The incidence of total extrusion of the cuboid is rare, without any known published data or surgical guidelines. This case report describes the management of an open extruded cuboid by staged surgical interventions. Arthrodesis of the lateral column with a structural bone graft is a viable option to address the shortening, instability, and severe bone loss caused by the total cuboid extrusion.
