Cuboid stress fracture vs Peroneus longus tendinitis How can a runner tell the difference?

If you are a runner and you’ve had pain on the outside of your ankle or the outside of your foot, kind of near the heel you may have been told that you have peroneus longus tendinitis.
Sometimes peroneus longus tendinitis is the wrong diagnosis. You might actually have a cuboid stress fracture.
Which one’s worse?
Well, I’ll tell you that in terms of really destroying your ability to run, definitely an ignored cuboid stress fracture is worse.
How can you tell the difference between a cuboid stress fracture and peroneus longus tendinitis?
Well, that’s what we’re talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.

Hi Dr i have a question. About 2 months ago i had a cuboid fracture and also a lateral ankle Sprain. After the fracture was confirmed fully healed I was taken out of the cam boot. However now i have peroneal subluxation. Although thr MRI showed no tears ect. What would a possible cause be for this and do these usually heal on there own without surgery? I have the subluxation when moving my ankle in a circle or moving my foot up and down. There is no pain just the popping sound. Thanks

Thank you for watching and commenting, however I would be able to determine based on the amount of information provided. If needed, we could get on a webcam call to discuss in detail.
