What's the spin: As everyone knows, the cuboid is a tarsal bone on the outer side of the foot, articulating in front with the calcaneus and lateral cuneiform and behind with the fourth and fifth metatarsal bones. The angled strips follow along the alignment of the metatarsal bones of the foot enabling the wearer to achieve maximum surface contact between the grit bottoms and the walking surface. Topics covered include instability of the ankle, fractures of the talus, sinus tarsi syndrome, tendon injuries, posterior ankle impingement, midfoot sprains, and fractures of the fifth metatarsal bone. |
