Cuboid fracture with no cast?

Cuboid fracture with no cast?

cuboid fracture shown on x-ray...sent us home with an ace bandage. Is this normal? No cast?

Hi there!

For minor fractures, an ace bandage should be fine as well; provided you are instructed to completely immobilize the joint and avoid putting weight on it around 4-6 weeks when the fracture healing can be reassessed. If unable to complete immobilize the joint with the bandage a cast may be required.
Hope this helps.

Take care!
