A case of cuboid bone stress fracture in a senior high school rugby athlete

Abstract

We report a case of cuboid bone stress fracture in a 17-year-old rugby athlete. Cuboid bone stress fractures are rare in athletes. When an athlete with no history of trauma presents with pain on the lateral side of the foot and no abnormality on plain radiograph, cuboid bone stress fracture should be suspected and magnetic resonance imaging should be conducted.
