Particularly if the patient has calcaneocuboid pain and disability, and that early excision of the fragment is usually advisable. There were 12 cases with performing the simple excision. The fracture characteristics were analyzed by Degan's classification; type 1 was 1case (8.3%), type 2 was 6 cases (50.0%) and type 3 was 5 cases (41.7%); and their morphology; elongation was 3 cases (50.0%) and fragmentation 3 cases (50.0%). And, the pre and post operative American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society midfoot score and visual analog scale was evaluated; 66.0 and 5.8 was significantly improved to 90.1 (p=0.007) and 2.2 (p=0.003), respectively. Postoperative Excellent and good satisfaction with possible return to previous sports activity was 10 cases (83.3%).
