The nutcracker fracture is a rather unusual type of cuboid bone fracture caused by a compressive force which determines a multi-fragmentation of the fracture with consequent loss of the length of the lateral column of the foot and of the anatomy, which if not treated can cause instability and chronic pain. We present this case of a nutcracker fracture that was treated with only a bridge plate and relative screws, resulting in the restoration of length and anatomy with excellent clinical results.
