What's avg heal time for two small fragments of cuboid bone. gp said avulsion. orthopedic said maybe gout. gout meds didn't work. going back to ortho.

Cuboid: There is a small bone called the os peroneum located adjacent and slightly under the cuboid bone. It is normally positioned inside the peroneus longus muscle tendon. A partial tendon rupture there can cause the os peroneum to fracture since they function together. The cuboid bone can fracture and the avulsion fracture is caused by a ligament. Have the ortho doc check for cuboid pain syndrome.

42 days : If you have a fracture and its treated with a cast of some type 42 days usually heals fractures in the feet if you have gout than the 42 days doesnt apply.

Bone healing: Bone typically takes 6-8 weeks to heal but is fragments are displaced they may never heal. Check with your doc. Surgery may be indicated if painful.

Cuboid fragment: Without an x ray it is a difficult question to answer. Rather than seeking the advice of a gp, seeing a foot specialist ( podiatrist) is indicated.
