摘要：

We report eight cases of fracture of the cuboid in seven children under four years of age, collected during a two-year period, There was no history of trauma in five of the patients. This fracture is rarely diagnosed and has probably been under-reported. Small children are poor historians and difficult to examine, and early radiographs may be normal or have only subtle abnormalities. Cuboid fracture should be considered in the differential diagnosis of limping toddlers, and a bone scan may be needed to confirm the diagnosis earlier than radiography. These fractures heal completely, without sequelae. Treatment in a short-leg walking cast is recommended, primarily for reasons of comfort.
