The cuneiform bones (Latin: ossa cuneiformia) are a set of three tarsal bones located between the proximally situated navicular bone and distally positioned first three metatarsal bones. Lateral to the lateral cuneiform bone is the cuboid bone.
The lateral cuneiform bone is classified as a short bone and includes the following bony features: - surfaces: dorsal, plantar, medial and lateral surfaces, and proximal and distal articular surfaces; - landmarks: cuboid and intermediate cuneiform articular facets, and second, third and fourth metatarsal articular facets.
There are three cuneiform bones: The medial cuneiform (also known as first cuneiform) is the largest of the cuneiforms. It is situated at the medial side of the foot, anterior to the navicular bone and posterior to the base of the first metatarsal. Lateral to it is the intermediate cuneiform.
