I hurt my left foot and an MRI scan revealed an undisplaced comminuted fracture of distal pole of the cuboid bone. Will I probably need surgery for this? I am trying to use crutches but I weigh 130kg so it is very difficult to completely lift my left foot off the ground as the pressure it puts on my right foot (bearing 130kg) is painful. I have fairly severe pain in the right foot also but have not had a scan for that.
Dear sir/madam.can you please elaborate on mode of injury, i would clinically examine again and have a thorough secondary survey for any other injuries, i would take radiographs if needed and plan decision based on radiographs, since you are obese I recommend giving rest to the part, in a pop splint usually cuboid bone need not require surgical management, but I cannot comment without looking the radiographs, i would not recommend MRI scan for a fracture cuboid.
